About Invader
Invader is a science fiction / horror novel that tells the story of a body-snatching alien invasion from the alien's point of view. In a style that's one part Stephen King, one part David Cronenberg, and one part shattering family drama, INVADER's gripping text is magnified by twenty full-color illustrations by acclaimed comic book artist JOCK (Wytches, Gone, The Losers, Batman: The Black Mirror).
After a wildly successfuly Kickstarter campaign, we have made Invader available in limited quantities!
A meteor carrying liquid-crystal alien organisms crashes into the California desert. Desperate to survive these harsh conditions, the aliens soon begin husking and copying bodies — a cat, a coyote, an old man dying of cancer, a young woman deep into a mushroom trip, and PAIGE, an officer with the Bureau of Land Management.
The aliens are part of an ancient hive mind — the SisterMind — drifting through space from planet to planet, where they replicate, reproduce, and colonize, gutting each planet of its resources before leaving to do it all over again. This is their plan for our Earth as well...
But when alien Paige finds herself with a human mind and emotions and family in all of their complexities, she resists the plan — leading to a war between different SisterMind factions led by a sinister corporate CEO and a young, psychedelic cult leader in the desert.
"If, like me, you ever wondered how Invasion of the Body Snatchers would play from the point of view of the aliens, here comes Invader! With prose by turns spare, taut, propulsive, and wildly psychedelic, Invader shows exactly what might happen when a collective hive mind attempts to infiltrate and rewire the chaotic, contradictory individuality of the human experience. Existential fireworks ensue!"
–– Grant Morrison, New York Times bestselling author of The Invisibles and Arkham Asylum
