Description
The Grownup by Gillian Flynn is a chilling psychological thriller and ghost story wrapped in a short but gripping narrative. Originally published as part of an anthology, this novella follows a young woman who makes a living scamming people through fake psychic readings. When a wealthy woman named Susan Burke approaches her for help with a haunted Victorian house, the protagonist seizes the opportunity—only to find herself caught in a far more sinister and twisted situation than she ever expected. As she spends more time in the eerie house and with Susan’s deeply disturbed stepson, Miles, she begins to question whether the haunting is real or if something even darker is at play. The novella is packed with Flynn’s signature elements—unreliable narrators, psychological manipulation, and unexpected twists that keep readers guessing until the very end. With sharp wit, dark humor, and an unsettling atmosphere, The Grownup is a fast-paced, eerie read that blurs the line between the supernatural and human deception, making it a must-read for fans of psychological thrillers and ghost stories.
