About this listen

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.

Critic reviews

“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

Editorial Review

These dinner reservations were made in advance...
Aliens are coming, and they’re hungry. Told from the perspective of seemingly unreliable Stasia Miller, Overgrowth follows the oncoming invasion of Earth by a man-eating alien species. Here’s the catch: Everyone knew about it! No one took Stasia’s continual reminders of impending doom seriously—even her own revelation of alienhood was ignored. One of my favorite perspectives has always been the unreliable narrator, and I have to give a few snaps to narrator Caitlin Kelly. She delivers Stasia’s quirks and uncustomary ways well. Overgrowth also comes at the right time as social commentary surrounding commercial space travel grows. For horror fans, it serves as a fun reminder of the consistent question: We don’t know what’s out there, but do we want to?—Nicole R., Audible Editor
