The listing, VC Andrews collection Dollanganger Series has ended.
Nearly forty years VC Andrews became one of the most famous novelist in the history of horror and family saga stories. "Flowers in the Attic” is the novel that began V.C. Andrews' extraordinary career, winning her an immediate, fiercely devoted world-wide following." The set that I’m posting for this auction is the Dollanganger Series, Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, & Garden of Shadows
Andrews' novels combine Gothic horror and family saga, revolving around family secrets and forbidden love (frequently involving themes of consensual incest, most often between siblings), and they often include a rags-to-riches story. Her best-known novel is the infamous bestseller Flowers in the Attic (1979), a tale of four children locked in the attic of a wealthy Virginia family for over three years by their estranged religious grandmother.
The first two novels, Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind, focus on the Dollanganger children: Chris, Cathy, Cory, and Carrie. The Dollangangers are initially imprisoned in an attic by their mother and horrible grandmother, and Flowers in the Attic tells of their incarceration and subsequent escape. Petals on the Wind picks up the story directly after their escape from the attic without one of their siblings. If There Be Thorns and Seeds of Yesterday continue to tell their story, but the focus shifts to Cathy's children Jory and Bart after a mysterious woman and her butler move in next door and start inviting Bart over, turning him into a monster. Garden of Shadows is a prequel that tells the story of the grandparents, Olivia and Malcolm Foxworth. You can checkout the other books in the series as well.
