A Dark Place on the Internet

It's just light enough on Gillian Flynn's dark-grey website to read what she posts there… if you dare.

MOVIE OR TV PRODUCTIONS

Delayed Places

The Dark Places film adaptation was supposed to open in April 2015. It didn't. Variety speculates why in this review.

Cameo Appearance

Gillian Flynn's alma mater, Entertainment Weekly, previews Dark Places, along with Gillian Flynn's cameo in the picture.

ARTICLES AND INTERVIEWS

Friends in High Places

Writer Chris High snagged an interview with Gillian Flynn with the debut of her second novel, the literary equivalent of interviewing Taylor Swift when she released her second single.

Dark to Darker

This reviewer of Dark Places is shocked to see Flynn go even darker than she did in her debut, Sharp Objects.

Dull Objects

Dark Places left this Powell's reviewer wanting more. (Not more Satan.)

VIDEO

Dark Trailer

See if Charlize Theron and the former Mr. Jennifer Lawrence match your vision of Libby and Lyle takin' names and solvin' crimes.

Lots of Pitchforks

This interview with Gillian Flynn isn't as disturbing as you might think it would be. She doesn't seem like a farmer or a Satan worshiper.

AUDIO

New Speedway Boogie

Libby hums this Grateful Dead song when looking for Runner, grateful he's not dead… for once.

Buckle Up

A reviewer for the audiobook says Dark Places "keeps you on the edge of your seat," so maybe don't listen to this one while you're driving.

No Answer

This is how people communicated before the Internet, courtesy of the Telephony Museum, which Libby drives by in Kansas.

Not a Bus Stop

Libby has a car, so she doesn't need to visit the Greyhound Hall of Fame to catch the bus… oh wait… this museum in Kansas she drives by is for the dogs.

The Symbol of Success

You know you've made it big when you've made the biggest Ball of Twine, another roadside attraction Libby doesn't make time to stop at.

Don't Have a Cow

Ben has strong opinions about cows. Here's a Hereford, which Ben describes as "prehistoric, belligerent, mean" (27.2).

And a Jersey

…which Ben thinks is "sweet-looking" (27.2).
