Overgrowth by Mira Grant (Paperback)

A modern first contact story that feels unsettlingly close to home.
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.

Anastasia Miller has spent her entire life insisting she isn’t human. Since childhood, she’s claimed to be an alien left behind on Earth, waiting for the day her kind would return. No one has ever taken her seriously. To everyone else, it’s just a strange story she’s never grown out of.

Now, the world is starting to listen. A mysterious signal is being broadcast across the globe, and it carries a terrifying message. The warning signs were always there, dismissed and ignored. What once sounded impossible is becoming undeniable.

As panic spreads and the truth begins to surface, Stasia’s claims take on a new and dangerous weight. If she is who she says she is, then she may be the only person who understands what’s coming. But that knowledge comes with a cost.

Because this isn’t just about an invasion. It’s about belonging, identity, and what it means to be human when you might not be at all. As the threat draws closer, one question remains: when the truth has been right in front of you all along, is it already too late to act?
