The Grownup is Gillian Flynn’s only published short story, released as a standalone book in 2014. It first appeared under the title “What Do You Do?” in the George R.R. Martin-edited anthology Rogues. The story follows a scam artist who fakes psychic readings for a living and gets drawn into a case that may or may not involve an actual haunted house.
The novella has the same dark humor and twisting plot that fans expect from Flynn’s novels, packed into a much shorter format. It won the Edgar Award for Best Short Story.
