“Mira Grant (Seanan McGuire) is an auto-buy author for me, and this book definitely doesn't disappoint. Grant explores themes of identity and trying to fit in with others around you in a way that feels like an autism-coded experience. The alien in a human body definitely feels like a poignant metaphor for figuring out where you belong in the grand scheme of things. It's not all metaphor, though; there's plenty of action in store. At the end of the day, how do we know who the real monsters are? ”
— Kaitlyn • Hyperbole Books
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 whatโs coming, and just refuse to listen?
A Macmillan Audio production from Tor Nightfire.
Mira Grant is the author of the New York Times best-selling Newsflesh trilogy, along with multiple other works of biomedical science fiction. She has been nominated for the Hugo Award, and her book, Feed, was chosen as one of NPR's 100 Killer Thrillers.

Praise for Overgrowth
โMira Grant re-cements her place at the top of the sci-fi horror genre.โ โT. Kingfisher
โI'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 alienโand 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.โ โM.R. Carey, author of The Girl With All the Gifts
โBy 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. Itโs Mira Grantโs best work yet!โ โChristopher 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." โCassandraw Khaw, author of The Salt Grows Heavy
โLock in. Once you start Stasiaโs story, you will not want to stop. SO GOOD.โ โS.A. Barnes, author of Ghost Station
"A deliciously nasty blend of science fiction, horror, and thrillerโhard-hitting and compulsively readable!" โTim Waggoner, author of The Custodians of the Cosmos series.
โA 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.โ โPaul Cornell, author of Witches of Lychford
โA 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.โ โHailey 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." โWendy N. Wagner, author of Girl in the Creek
Praise for Mira Grant:
โAstonishing... a fascinating exploration of the future.โ โNew York Times on Newsflesh series
โI can't wait for the next book.โ โN.K. Jemisin on Feed
โEngrossing and adrenaline-fueledโ โShelf Awareness on Into the Drowning Deep
โGrant's skillfully crafted story combines science, horror, and mystery into a gripping novel of terror.โ โLibrary Journal, starred review, on Into the Drowning Deep
โAbsolutely delivers on beastly terror.... Best-selling author Mira Grant is one of today's best horror authors.โ โVulture on Into the Drowning Deep
โGrant's heady brew of visceral horror, fascinating science, and, of course, the hubris of mankind in the face of the awesome unknown is irresistible.โ โKirkus Reviews on Into the Drowning Deep
