The Edgar-winning short story from the author of Gone Girl.

A young woman is making a living, faking it as a cut-price psychic working at Spiritual Palms (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, built in 1893. Susan has become convinced that some malevolent spirit is inhabiting their home and taking possession of the stepson. She has even found trickles of blood on the wall.

The young woman doesn't believe in exorcism or the supernatural, but she does see an opportunity to make a lot of money. However, when she enters the house for the first time and meets Miles, 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.

Beautiful little twists and turns that leave you wondering which way this is going to go, but only 4/5 because it left me craving for more and could be expanded out.

Julian Whelan has one of those voices that I could listen to for hours, with a nuance of flirtation in her narration.

Great short read/listen. But please sir, I want some more.

Great short but left me hungering for more.

This will leave you hanging until the last word. Great narrator, loved every seconds of it.

Short gripping story.

Lots of twists and turns, read in such a matter of fact way that you are drawn into the story because it becomes more plausible, let's face it who hasn't wondered at some point which person is telling the truth and which a lie. Very flippant on the surface, but so very unsettling underneath and no gore, it's all simply implied. The very best sort of psychological thriller !

Unsettling

Great story only wish it wasn't so short. I felt she could have made it last longer.
