The Grownup

“You should see what Miles did to the babysitter he didn't like. It's one of the reasons we don't have money. Medical bills.”

I got this book as a free little addition to my first Book of the Month club box at the beginning of the year, and totally forgot it existed until a couple of weeks ago, so I thought I'd throw it on to my October TBR for a fun little spooky read.

Our nameless narrator isn't a particularly honest woman when it comes to career choices, and finds herself shamming as a psychic when she gets roped into helping a woman whose stepson seems to have become possessed by the evil lurking in their new home.

The short story is rough, crude, eerie, bizarre, and super fun. I haven't been a huge fan of Gillian's thrillers in the past, but would pay good money for an anthology of short little horror reads like this from her.
