The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

The Grownup by Gillian Flynn

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELER - Gillian Flynn's Edgar Award-winning homage to the classic ghost story, published for the first time as a standalone.

A canny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection. However, when the psychic visits the eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan's terror and grief, she realizes she may not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore. Miles, Susan's teenage stepson, doesn't help matters with his disturbing manner and grisly imagination. The three are soon locked in a chilling battle to discover where the evil truly lurks and what, if anything, can be done to escape it.

The Grownup, which originally appeared as What Do You Do? in George R. R. Martin's Rogues anthology, proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world's most original and skilled voices in fiction.

GILLIAN FLYNN is the author of the international sensation Gone Girl, which has spent more than 95 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list. Her work has been translated into forty different languages. Twentieth Century Fox is set to release Gone Girl as a major motion picture. Dark Places and Dagger Award winner Sharp Objects, Flynn's previous novels, were also New York Times bestsellers. She resides in Chicago with her husband and children, where she worked as a writer and critic for Entertainment Weekly.
