About the Book

Includes an excerpt from next novel from V.C. Andrews: Shadows of Foxworth.

Book Synopsis

"I will probably be clutching Flowers in the Attic in my gnarled hands on my deathbed." --Gillian Flynn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Gone Girl

The twisted, beloved Dollanganger legend began two generations before Corrine Foxworth locked away her children in Flowers in the Attic. The second book in a prequel story arc of the Dollanganger series delivers a gothic family saga set within the shadowed halls of Foxworth Hall.

Married to the handsome, wealthy Garland Foxworth following a wildfire romance, and an unexpected pregnancy, young Corrine Dixon finds her life very different from how she imagined it. Often alone in the mansion of Foxworth Hall, she can practically feel the ancestors' judgment of her as insufficient--as not a Foxworth. Stern portraits glare at her from the walls, and the servants treat her strangely. Nothing in the vast place is truly hers.

Even her son, Malcolm Foxworth, born in the luxe Swan Room and instantly whisked away to a wet nurse, feels alien to her. With a husband alternately absent and possessively close, Corrine doesn't yet realize that she's barely scratched the surface of what lies beneath Foxworth Hall's dark facade and the family that guards its legacies.

With the fortieth anniversary of Flowers in the Attic and a wave of new Lifetime adaptations, there has never been a more compelling moment for V.C. Andrews fans to return to the Dollanganger series and step into the shadows of Foxworth Hall.
