Day of the TriffidsmeetsInvasion of the Body Snatchersin this full-on body horror / alien invasion apocalypse.
This is just a story. It can't hurt you anymore.
Since she was three years old, Anastasia Miller has been telling anyone who would listen that she's an alien disguised as a human being, and that the armada that left her on Earth is coming for her. Since she was three years old, no one has believed her.
Now, with an alien signal from the stars being broadcast around the world, humanity is finally starting to realize that it's already been warned, and it may be too late. The invasion is coming, Stasia's biological family is on the way to bring her home, and very few family reunions are willing to cross the gulf of space for just one misplaced child.
What happens when you know whats coming, and just refuse to listen?

Mira Grant re-cements her place at the top of the sci-fi horror genre. T. Kingfisher
I've never read anything like this.Overgrowthis poignant, beautiful and terrifying by turns. Grant has written a first contact story that captures the wonder of encountering something truly alienand the horror of learning how much of the alien is already inside us. A unique and utterly addictive read, from the first green shoots to the final harvest. M.R. Carey, author ofThe Girl With All the Gifts
By turns heartfelt and grotesque,Overgrowthis the totally original space invasion novel for our times, as much about aliens as it is about very human alienation. Its Mira Grants best work yet! Christopher Golden,New York Timesbestselling authol3+
