Dollenganger 01 Flowers In the Attic
V. C. Andrews
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....

Dollenganger 02 Petals On the Wind
V. C. Andrews
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 in the way her brother still yearned for her, in the way her
guardian touched her, in the way all men looked at her.
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

Dollenganger 03 If There Be a Thorns
V. C. Andrews
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. 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 while 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.
