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

Overgrowth combines elements of The Day of the Triffids and Little Shop of Horrors to create a smart, charming, harrowing alien invasion story about being human, all from 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 realise 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?
