Invasion of the Body Snatchers meets Day of the Triffids in 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 what’s coming, and just refuse to listen?

Praise for this book

“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

“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
