Scary, Scarier...Gillian Flynn, a former television critic for Entertainment Weekly, writes novels that have been catching a fair share of attention from critics and readers alike since 2006. Her debut novel, Sharp Objects, was an Edgar® Award finalist and the winner of two of Britain’s Dagger Awards.
Her second novel, Dark Places, is also receiving some critical praise. Click to read short takes from NPR and the New York Times or learn more about the author's viewpoint, courtesy of Powell's Books.
Both of Flynn's novels are dark, scary, voiced by female narrators with dark and scary instincts, and extraordinarily well-written. But they are not for everyone. If you are a fan of dark fiction (or true crime non-fiction) they may be for you.
