Description

The listing, VC Andrews and "The Casteel 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 series shown is the second in the group that she wrote. They are Heaven, Dark Angels, Fallen Hearts, Gates of Paradise, and Web of Dreams.

Questions & Comments

Here is some information about this series. The Casteel series was the second series of novels written by Andrews. The five books were published between 1985 and 1990. Two books were published before Andrews' death and three after.
The series traces the trials of a troubled West Virginia family, primarily from the viewpoint of Heaven, a young girl whose fourteen-year-old mother died during childbirth, and deals with her love/hate relationship with her father, who sells her and her half-siblings for money. The focus then shifts to Heaven's daughter Annie, named after her grandmother, and then to Leigh, Heaven's mother. It is the last series known to be started by Andrews herself.
