They Came from the Trees

By: Christopher Francis

Narrated by: Cotton Andrade

They infect the strong and healthy to use as hosts, leaving the rest of the human population to rot.

Forced to drop out of school to support the family farm, Sheldon struggles to find anything positive to focus on his life—especially his drifting parents and social life.

But when the ruthless aliens make their terrifying selections and the town is now under siege, Sheldon must focus on an escape plan. Desperate, and on the run, he assembles an unexpected group of friends, hoping to find answers—hoping to find help. However, It's not long before he discovers the horrifying truth behind these rapidly evolving aliens and their terrifying yet curious vision.

And for Sheldon, maybe survival isn't about running.

Maybe survival isn't about fighting.

Maybe survival is about making sacrifices—heartbreaking, and terrifying sacrifices.

Survival in an alien invaded world

Received as an audio review copy from Story Origin, this an honest review. Narrated by Cotton Andrade, delivers an exceptional performance as They Came From The Trees is one heck of a hauntingly stark thrilling ride. From the moment bizarre aliens came while absolutely frightening the aliens were helpful by healing those damaged by disease or injury. Then everything everything changes for Sheldon, his father and how neighborhood kids when these kind being become ruthless hunters by slaughtering anyone within reach... or capturing others for some unknown reason. In the race to survive means putting trust into strangers while desperately trying to find out what these sentient creatures want. Mesmerizing intense, poignant and characters driven... definitely worth your time.

Highly recommended.

Darker Young adult story

We follow Sheldon as he tries to survive monsters that have invaded their town, monsters that seem to do both evil things but sometimes also good things to people. What is going on?
