Yeah, I'm a little bit ashamed to say that I have the entire Flowers and Heaven series. And Dawn. And part of Ruby. Man, I loved me some VC Andrews when I was a kid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
BTW, the cartoonist who did the Twilight comic, also has a great series of Harry Potter posters.
I think Flowers was very disturbing. For some reason the incest wasn't what got me. The mother's treatment of the kids is what got me. that kind of brutality and inhumanity is something I couldn't ever get out of my mind.
That, and the (memfault) guy they end up living with after escaping the mother. Way squickier than the incest.
Paul. The doctor. Who Cathy seduces but never marries.
I think one of the more disturbing aspects of the sees a girl at a young age, decides she's the one and only, and waits for her to grow up scenario is the feeling that he's influencing her to fulfill his fantasies.
This discussion has finally given me a good excuse to buy the Flowers in the Attic series at a thrift store. Thank you.
I did not like the creepy guy they went to live with at all.
I just had this thought that Flowers in the Attic is like a creepy incest murder version of The Boxcar Children

HAHAHA! It totally is.
Knives being store on a magnetic strip - handles up or handles down?
Handles down. Scissors are handles up, though, mostly because the handles are bulky. Potato peeler is horizontal on the end.
