"Gillian Flynn is the real deal, a sharp, acerbic, and compelling storyteller with a knack for the macabre." —Stephen King This collection, available exclusively as an ebook, brings together the first two novels of Gillian Flynn, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Gone Girl. In Sharp Objects, Flynn’s debut novel, a young journalist returns home to cover a dark assignment—and to face her own damaged family history. With its taut, crafted writing, Sharp Objects is addictive, haunting, and unforgettable. Flynn’s second novel, Dark Places, is an intricately orchestrated thriller that ravages a family's past to unearth the truth behind a horrifying crime. A New York Times bestseller and Weekend Today Top Summer Read, Dark Places solidified Flynn’s status as one of the most critically acclaimed suspense writers of our time.

ギリアン・フラインの筆致は、人間の深淵に潜む悪意を外科医のような冷徹さで暴き出します。その真髄は、家族の機能不全や過去のトラウマが現在を蝕む様を、容赦ない文学的強度で描く点にあります。読者は美しくも残酷な描写に導かれ、自己破壊的な衝動に突き動かされる登場人物の心理的迷宮へと、抗いがたく引きずり込まれるでしょう。 従来の女性像を覆し、内なる暴力性や歪んだ愛を等身大の恐怖として描く手腕は圧巻です。孤独を五感に訴えかける文体は、事件の真相以上に魂の暗部にある叫びを浮き彫りにします。この鋭利な物語は、読了後も消えない強烈な余韻を刻み、あなたの倫理観を激しく揺さぶる傑作です。
