"Dark and delectable. I gobbled this book up and enjoyed every last bite." --Kirsten Miller, author of The Change and The Women of Wild Hill "Ellery Adams makes prey out of us all with Invasive Species, proving there are many, many more taxonomies of terror left to be discovered within the depths of our bookshelves. This book is such a beautiful, brackish blend of monstrous mythology and domestic drama, you could consider it The Real Housewives of Eldritch Horror." --Clay McLeod Chapman, author of Wake Up and Open Your Eyes "Invasive Species takes the familiar landscape of 1980s suburbia and infuses it with genuine dread, weaving together Greek legend, Icelandic folklore, and the everyday monsters of patriarchal expectations. Ellery Adams turns myth into menace with a story that's as sharp as it is strange, where every page hums with unease. One of the most original horror stories I've read in years." --Crystal King, author of The Happiness Collector "Readers looking to dip their toes into horror or those who like that special blend of the supernatural with social commentary (similar to stories by Rachel Harrison), should pick up Adams' first foray into the genre.

" --Booklist "Adams crafts a humorous portrait of small-town life and tops off the fast-paced plot with a satisfying ending that doesn't pull punches. This impresses." --Publishers Weekly "Ellery Adams pulls off a delicate balance with two plot lines running parallel and then intersecting in fascinating ways. The families inhabiting Cold Harbor are a story unto themselves, but adding the terror provided by Mrs. Smith makes this novel a page turner. Just when we thought it was safe to go into the water! A great beach read, if you're game." --Charlene Giannetti, Woman Around Town.
