Overgrowth

De: Mira Grant

Narrado por: Caitlin Kelly

“Kelly differentiates characters smoothly, and her youthful voice and enhanced articulation suit Anastasia's feelings of otherness.”—AudioFile

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?

Reseñas de la Crítica

“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

Great story, excellent narration

What I really like:
-Ms. Grant’s ability to create a range of characters I cared about in settings that are believable.
-telling a story I want to follow to find out what is going to happen and how things will develop.

The Plantocolypse!!!

An incredibly fun journey into a plant based future. if you enjoyed the Area X books, war of the worlds, or Semiosis you will enjoy this book. Great characters intriguing plot and a solid opening grab followed through with a very worthwhile finale. well done from start to finish.

Excellent for listening while gardening

Yet another fantastic book from Mira Grant. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and got a lot of weeding and planting done while listening to the audiobok.

Good story , spoiled by check box messaging

Minus one star for lecturing. Hopefully this is a one off occurrence, normally she does not talk down to her readers

No spoilers

MG has created another out of the box tale; this is a character-driven story that is deeply disturbing and incredibly timely. Let her tell you the story; it’s only a story…it can’t hurt you.

Interesting story

A little long in the tooth but a pretty interesting concept and story. I’d recommend it for a fun read.

Flashes of brilliance

Flashes of brilliance. This writer has potential. Not there yet. look again at the next one.

A green and vibrant novel

Mira Grant writes some of the best horror around. This was clearly written with love for the many plant related horror novels that have come before it. It also is remarkably personal for the author as the main character has elements taken from her own life. I loved the way the plant monsters work. I appreciate the commentary on what humans are really like. The interpersonal relationships feel all too real. I only have one regret, I won’t ever know what happened to Seymour.
I wholeheartedly recommend this book.

B**** I worked customer service!!

The scene with the agent with no name? *perfection!*
The sass is delicious and Mira Grant aliens is what I needed today ❤️

A political fable, but not misguided, and entertaining enough

I am a longtime fan of the author’s. Her output has always been uneven, with some standout entries approaching masterpiece level of execution, according to my personal metric, and others being just OK. This one is in the latter camp, but it is a worthwhile and entertaining listen nonetheless.
