A young woman is making a living faking it as a cut-price psychic (with some illegal soft-core sex work on the side). She makes a decent wage mostly by telling people what they want to hear. But then she meets Susan Burke.
Susan moved to the city one year ago with her husband and 15-year-old stepson Miles. They live in a Victorian house called Carterhook Manor. Susan has become convinced that some malevolent spirit is inhabiting their home. The young woman doesn't believe in exorcism or the supernatural. However when she enters the house for the first time, she begins to feel it too, as if the very house is watching her, waiting, biding its time . . .
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.

El adulto es un original y aterrador homenaje a los cuentos de fantasmas escrito por Gillian Flynn, autora de Perdida.
Un relato imprescindible en una edición ilustrada por Carmen Segovia.
Una mujer joven a quien no le ha ido demasiado bien en la vida se reconvierte a incrédula lectora de auras en Spiritual Palms, un dudoso negocio de artes esotéricas en cuya trastienda se gestiona otro tipo de necesidades digamos que más terrenales.
Una mañana entra en la tienda Susan Burke, una mujer bella y adinerada que le propone purificar de presencias malignas su casa. Cuando la «vidente» visita la sombría mansión victoriana, se da cuenta de que ha llegado la hora de creer en exorcismos. Poco ayuda la presencia del hijastro de su clienta, el adolescente Miles, un jovencito de modales inquietantes y torva imaginación.
La crítica ha dicho:
«El adulto es una narración redonda, un teaser formidable que tendrá a los fans de Flynn enganchados mientras esperan su nueva novela. Nos presenta, como solo ella sabe hacer, a una protagonista completísima, que os caerábien y en quien se podría creer a pies juntillas pese a ser una persona carcomida por la corrupción.»
The Independent
«Una novela corta de pura tensión psicológica, narrada desde el punto de vista de una estafadora cuyo truco final podría fracasar por culpa de cierto adolescente malévolo.»
Vogue
«Un cuento salvaje, escrito con bisturí.»
Metro
«Los relatos largos deberían tener tanta tensión como ambigüedad, y El adulto las tiene.»
The Spectator
«Es un gran placer leer algo tan fugaz y a la vez tan terrorífico.»
Westdeutscher Zeitung
«La mayor pega: se hace demasiado corto.»
Elena Ramírez, La Voz de Galicia
Uma jovem ganha a vida praticando pequenas fraudes. Seu principal talento é a capacidade de dizer às pessoas exatamente o que elas querem ouvir, e sua mais recente ocupação consiste em se passar por vidente, oferecendo o serviço de leitura de aura para donas de casa ricas e tristes.
Certo dia, ela atende Susan Burkes, que se mudou há pouco tempo para a cidade com o marido, o filho pequeno e o enteado adolescente. Experiente observadora do comportamento humano, a falsa sensitiva logo enxerga em Susan uma mulher desesperada por injetar um pouco de emoção em sua vida monótona e planeja tirar vantagem da situação.
No entanto, quando visita a impressionante mansão dos Burke, que Susan acredita ser a causa de seus problemas, e se depara com acontecimentos aterrorizantes, a jovem se convence de que há algo tenebroso à espreita. Agora, ela precisa descobrir onde o mal se esconde, e como escapar dele. Se é que há alguma chance.
Em seu estilo inconfundível que arrebatou milhares de fãs, Gillian Flynn traça surpreendentes e intrigantes perfis psicológicos dos personagens e tece uma narrativa repleta de suspense ao mesmo tempo em que brinca com elementos clássicos do sobrenatural.
“Gillian Flynn é perfeita. Afiada, ácida, uma contadora de histórias convincente com talento especial para o macabro.” Stephen King
“De tirar o fôlego.” The Times
“Assustador.” Independent
Una historia adictiva y formidablemente escrita que, a través del misterio, indaga en el papel de la memoria y nos adentra en los sentimientos más crudos del ser humano.
Un thriller como solo Gillian Flynn, la autora de Perdida, sabe hacerlo.
Libby Day tenía siete años cuando su madre y sus dos hermanas fueron víctimas de lo que los medios llamaron la masacre de la granja de Kinnakee, Kansas. Ella salvó la vida y testificó contra su hermano Ben, a quien señaló como el culpable.
Veinticinco años después, el Kill Club -una sociedad secreta obsesionada con crímenes célebres- localiza a una Libby en franca decadencia y pretende que les ayude a escarbar en los cabos sueltos de aquella noche, quizá en busca de alguna prueba que absuelva a Ben. Ella aceptará remover el pasado y volver a contactar con personas a las que deseó olvidar, siempre y cuando reciba a cambio algún tipo de honorario.
Lo que Libby no sabe es que una verdad inimaginable saldrá a flote y la pondrá de nuevo en aquella misma situación: huyendo de la muerte en una carrera desquiciada.
Reseñas:
«Con su aterrador debut, Heridas abiertas, Gillian Flynn hizo saltar todas las alarmas. Lugares oscuros es la confirmación de que no era ninguna broma.»
Val McDermid
«Gillian Flynn es de lo mejorcito, una narradora aguda, mordaz e irresistible con talento para lo macabro.»
Stephen King
«La escritura de Gillian Flynn es tremendamente buena. La leería a ella antes que a cualquier otro escritor de novela negra.»
Kate Atkinson
«Lugares oscuros te atrapa desde la primera página, y no te suelta.»
Karin Slaugther
«Perturbadora y original.»
New York Magazine
«La amarás ola detestarás, pero no podrás olvidar fácilmente a Libby Day. [...] Un thriller que te mantiene en una tensión continua.»
New York Times Book Review
«La segunda novela de Flynn es una maravillosa evocación de la monótona vida pueblerina. El recurso narrativo de la ruptura temporal funciona magníficamente bien y el ambiente es espeluznantemente macabro.»
The Guardian
«Gillian Flynn me encanta».

Die junge Nerdy hatte es bislang nicht leicht im Leben und bestreitet ihren Lebensunterhalt mit Wahrsagerei und sexuellen Dienstleistungen. Sie verdient nicht schlecht – meistens erzählt sie den Leuten genau das, was sie hören wollen. Bis sie Susan Burke trifft. Susan lebt in Carterhook Manor, einem alten viktorianischen Haus aus dem Jahr 1893, zusammen mit ihrem Mann, ihrem Sohn und ihrem Stiefsohn Miles. Susan ist völlig verängstigt, denn sie ist davon überzeugt, dass ein böser Geist von Haus und Stiefsohn Besitz ergriffen hat. Nerdy soll kommen und das Haus davon befreien. Die junge Frau glaubt weder an Geister noch an sonstige übernatürliche Dinge, aber hier bietet sich die Chance, sehr viel Geld zu verdienen. Aber als sie das Haus zum ersten Mal betritt und auch Miles trifft, fühlt sie es auch: Hier spukt kein Geist, hier lauert etwas Anderes. Etwas absolut Böses. Etwas, das töten will.

作者說,「我
Libby Day tinha apenas sete anos quando testemunhou o brutal assassinato da mãe e das duas irmãs na fazenda da família. O acusado do crime foi seu irmão mais velho, que acabou condenado à prisão perpétua.
Desde aquele dia, Libby passou a viver sem rumo. Uma vida paralisada no tempo, sem amigos, família ou trabalho. Mas, vinte e quatro anos depois, quando é procurada por um grupo de pessoas convencidas da inocência de seu irmão, Libby começa a se fazer as perguntas que até então nunca ousara formular. Será que a voz que ouviu naquela noite era mesmo a do irmão? Ben era considerado um desajustado na pequena cidade em que viviam, mas ele seria mesmo capaz de matar? Existiria algum segredo por trás daqueles assassinatos?
Gillian Flynn intercala a trajetória detetivesca de Libby com flashbacks dos acontecimentos do dia dos crimes com tanta habilidade que o leitor é levado a diferentes direções. Escrito com primor, Lugares escuros não só mostra como a memória é passível de falhas, mas também evidencia as mentiras que uma criança pode contar a si mesma para superar um trauma.
Produzida e estrelada pela atriz Charlize Theron, a adaptação cinematográfica de Lugares escuros estreou no Brasil, em grande circuito, em 18 de junho de 2015.
Gillian Flynn figurou nas principais listas de mais vendidos do Brasil com o best-seller Garota exemplar e seus livros somam mais de 200 mil exemplares vendidos no país.
Eleito um dos melhores livros do ano de 2009 pelas revistas The New Yorker e Publishers Weekly e pelo jornal Chicago Tribune e finalista do National Book Awards britânico.
