The Ooze

The Ooze is New York Times bestseller Mira Grant’s latest chilling excursion into science fiction horror, combining the futile inevitability of The Blob with the modern sensibility of The Last of Us.

The most terrifying thing about the end of the world is how inevitable it is.

Three billion years ago, something was born at the bottom of the sea. For millennia, it consumed everything it touched. Then the ice came, and it slept.

Now the ice is melting, and it's waking up in a new world, one ripe and ready to be consumed.

Dr. Fiadh Sinclair has spent her career studying the early-world extinctions that left nothing behind, the ones we can identify only through absence. She knows what this ancient horror is from the moment she learns of it. She knows exactly what it will do if allowed to feed unchecked. And she knows that seeing what's coming won't be enough to save anyone.

Maybe nothing can.

The Ooze is a sprawling standalone novel about the end of the world, told by people who understood what was happening and still couldn't stop it.
