Day of the Triffids meets Little Shop of Horrors in this smart, charming, harrowing alien invasion story about being human, by a Hugo-award winning author.
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?
Genre: Horror

Praise for this book
"Lock in. Once you start Stasia's story, you will not want to stop. SO GOOD." - S A Barnes
"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
"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
"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

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

"A deliciously nasty blend of science fiction, horror, and thriller - hard-hitting and compulsively readable!" - Tim Waggoner
"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
