Lividian Publications is pleased to offer our Deluxe Signed & Traycased Lettered Edition of The Grownup by Gillian Flynn, which is limited to just 26 copies. This exquisite special edition is thoughtfully designed with a keen attention to detail. Erin S. Wells provided stunning full-color artwork for the frontispiece and duo-toned illustrations for the interior, making this special edition a true work of art. The books were printed independently from the Limited Edition on an upgraded 80# acid-free paper using a four-color press. To elevate this edition even further, our binder sprayed the page edges to play off the custom endpapers. Our case maker then constructed the matching clamshell case to house and protect the book.

About the Book:
A canny young woman is struggling to survive by perpetrating various levels of mostly harmless fraud. On a rainy April morning, she is reading auras at Spiritual Palms when Susan Burke walks in. A keen observer of human behavior, our unnamed narrator immediately diagnoses beautiful, rich Susan as an unhappy woman eager to give her lovely life a drama injection.

However, when the “psychic” visits the eerie Victorian home that has been the source of Susan’s terror and grief, she realizes she may not have to pretend to believe in ghosts anymore. Miles, Susan’s teenage stepson, doesn’t help matters with his disturbing manner and grisly imagination. The three are soon locked in a chilling battle to discover where the evil truly lurks and what, if anything, can be done to escape it.

The Grownup proves once again that Gillian Flynn is one of the world’s most original and skilled voices in fiction.
