‘Gone Girl’ fans can get their fix on killer-themed cruise
For fans of the author Gillian Flynn, the mind behind the thrilling novel Gone Girl, this cruise is for you.
Flynn’s award-winning book, about a woman faking her own murder to frame her husband, earned actors Ben Affleck and Rosamund Pike a string of accolades for their roles in the blockbuster adaptation.
For those who can’t get enough of her stories, which include Sharp Objects and Dark Places, Flynn will be joining passengers on an eight-day cruise down the Danube River.
“I am very excited about this,” Flynn told Today Extra.
“Along the way I will be telling some stories and doing readings and answering questions about writing, anything about writing in general.
“I’m always up to talk about books.”
Flynn marked the ten-year anniversary of Gone Girl’s release in May, sharing with fans what a sequel could look like.
“Today is the ten-year anniversary of Gone Girl. What am I thinking about?” she wrote on Instagram.
“In Gone Girl chronology, Nick and Amy’s child would be close to 16 years old now. I keep wondering what a teenager raised by Amazing Amy would be like… and I’m chilled… in a good way.”
Along with spending time with the acclaimed author, passengers on the cruise will be able to take part in various activities and day trips, as the cruise makes stops in Budapest, Visegrad, Vienna, Krems and Grein.
The cruise, set to depart on September 15, will set passengers back $4,238 each and includes seven servings of breakfast and dinner, and six lunches.
It is one of Avalon Waterways’ series of Storyteller cruises, with upcoming trips featuring comical novelist Christopher Moore and musical group Sister Hazel.
