Flowers in the Attic

Such Wonderful Children. Such a
beautiful mother. Such a lovely house.
Such endless terror!

It wasn't that she didn't love her
children. She did. But there was a fortune
at stake- a fortune that would
assure their later happiness if she could
keep the children a secret from
her dying father.

So she and her mother hid her darlings
away in an unused attic.

Just for a little while.

But the brutal days swelled into
agonizing years. Now Cathy, Chris, and the
twins wait in their cramped and
helpless world, stirred by adult dreams,
adult desires, served a meager
sustenance by an angry, superstitious
grandmother who knows that the
Devil works in dark and devious ways.
Sometimes he sends children to
do his work- children who- one by
one- must be destroyed...

Petals on the Wind

They Were Such Brave Children To Withstand Such Suffering. To Escape Such Terror!

For Carrie, Chris and Cathy the attic was a dark horror that would not leave their minds, even while they built bright, promising new lives. Of course mother had to pretend they didn't exist. And grandmother was convinced they had the devil in them. But that wasn't their fault. Was it? Cathy knew what to do. She now had the powers she had learned from her beautiful mother. She knew it was time to put what she knew to the test. To show her mother and grandmother that the pain and terror of the attic could not be forgotten...Show them. Show them- once and for all.

Fourteen-year-old Jory was so handsome, so gentle. And Bart had such a dazzling imagination for a nine year old. Then the lights came on in the abandoned house next door. And soon the Old Lady in Black was there watching their home with prying eyes, guarded by her strange old butler. Soon the shrouded woman had Bart over for cookies and ice cream and asked him to call her "Grandmother." And soon Bart's transformation began... A transformation that sprang from "the book of secrets" the gaunt old butler had given him...a transformation fed by the hint of terrible things about his mother and father...a transformation that led him into shocking acts of violence, self-destruction and perversity. And now when this little boy trembles on the edge of madness, his anguished parents, his helpless brother, an obsessed old woman, and the vengeful powerful butler await the climax to a horror that flowered in an attic long ago, a horror whose thorns are still wet with blood, still tipped with fire...

Cathy and Chris are prisioners of a past they can't escape....

The final, haunting novel, in the extraordinary story that has enthralled millions!

The shocking fury continued with Petals on the Wind and If There be Thorns. Now V.C. Andrews has created the last dark chapter in the strange, chilling tale of passion and peril.

At last, with her tall handsome husband, she would find the joy she had waited for, longed for.
