Synopsis

“Kelly differentiates characters smoothly, and her youthful voice and enhanced articulation suit Anastasia's feelings of otherness.” — AudioFile

Day of the Triffids meets Gretchen Felker-Martin's Cuckoo.

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 what’s coming, and just refuse to listen?

A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.

Goodreads review by Debra on April 27, 2025

Creepy and thought provoking, Overgrowth is an unsettling tale about an alien invasion told from the alien's POV. Anastasia (Stasia) Miller walked off into the woods one day when she was three years old and was enchanted by an interesting flower/plant. She reaches out and touches the plant and, oops......more

Goodreads review by Booksblabbering || Cait❣️ on March 08, 2025

A five stars science fiction recommendation which gives Rocky Horror Show vibes.

Goodreads review by Lorelei on March 20, 2025

Anastasia Miller is an alien. Her people are on their way to Earth even now, to invade and conquer. This is no secret though; in fact, it’s the first thing she tells anyone she meets, like it’s a compulsion. Hi, I’m an alien, my people are coming to take over the planet. Nice to meet you. No one beli......more

Quotes

Praise for Overgrowth

“Mira Grant re-cements her place at the top of the sci-fi horror genre.” —T. Kingfisher

“I've never read anything like this. Overgrowth is poignant, beautiful and terrifying by turns. Grant has written a first contact story that captures the wonder of encountering something truly alien—and 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 of The Girl With All the Gifts

“By turns heartfelt and grotesque, Overgrowth is the totally original space invasion novel for our times, as much about aliens as it is about very human alienation. It’s Mira Grant’s best work yet!” —Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of The House of Last Resort and The Night Birds

"Overgrowth's horror grows into you, like a tendril that wraps around heart and lung, tightening until you can think of nothing else." —Cassandraw Khaw, author of The Salt Grows Heavy

“Lock in. Once you start Stasia’s story, you will not want to stop. SO GOOD.” —S.A. Barnes, author of Ghost Station

"A deliciously nasty blend of science fiction, horror, and thriller–hard-hitting and compulsively readable!" –Tim Waggoner, author of The Custodians of the Cosmos series.

“A very modern re-imagining of the alien bio-invasion, unfolded with the confidence of a master storyteller. This is Grant at her truthful, unflinching best.” —Paul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford

“A sweeping green storm in which Grant offers a garden of seclusion, and finding yourself, and the end of the world too. Overgrowth is charming and yet horrific, a modern sci-fi shadow cast by past fears and the looming future of our lonely planet.” —Hailey Piper, Bram Stoker Award-winning author of Queen of Teeth

"A piercing meditation on belonging and community with the pace and intensity of a blockbuster thriller, Overgrowth will leave you both full of thought and ready for more. Imaginative, exciting, and heart-felt: this is sci-fi horror at its best." —Wendy N. Wagner, author of Girl in the Creek
