First published in 2006, Sharp Objects is the first novel written by Gillian Flynn who has since shot to fame following the release of her most well known novel Gone Girl. Sharp Objects follows a newspaper journalist named Camille Preaker who returns to her hometown to cover a series of brutal murders. As the bodies begin to mount, Camille’s past comes back to haunt her and things get very creepy indeed.
It was announced in 2016 that HBO had begun developing an adaptation of the novel as an eight-episode mini series. The series is being produced by the same producer of the hit 2017 horror movie Get Out and will star Amy Adams in the role of Camille. The first teaser trailer has been released today by HBO and it certainly looks like it lives up to the unsettling nature of the novel.
Sharp Objects is set to air this Summer in July, try not to be too scared!
