Review Quotes
"Ridley Scott's chestbursters are pop culture legend, and any mention of unwanted alien stowaways brings to mind John Hurt sprawled out on a table in Alien, blood spewing from his chest. But Darcy Coates's parasites are interested in more than just gestating in their hosts before chewing their way out through the sternum." -- Book Riot
