Chicago magazine, in anticipation of its October 2015 issue, “Fall Culture Guide,” is debuting the premiere of Culture Festival – a one-day celebration of Chicago’s dynamic cultural diversity, complete with captivating performances, presentations, interviews and more.

Gillian Flynn, the author of best-selling thriller Gone Girl, will join the festival’s literature section for an event called The Thrilling World of Gillian Flynn.  Along with moderator Mark Bazer (Chicago columnist and host of “The Interview Show”), Flynn will discuss how she creates nail-biting plots and complex characters—plus the audience will get a sneak peek at what Flynn is working on now and hear her read from her latest work.

The festival is Saturday, Sept. 26 at Venue SIX10, located at 610 South Michigan Ave. Flynn’s appearance is 3:00-4:15 p.m. and tickets are $30.
