Who is V.C. Andrews?

Born Cleo Virginia Andrews (June 6, 1923 – December 19, 1986), V.C. Andrews was an American author mixing gothic horror with family saga who made her name with Flowers in the Attic, published in 1979, and which became an instant success. After that, she published a new novel each year until her death. She wrote under the names: Virginia Andrews, V. Andrews, Virginia C. Andrews & V.C. Endrius.

Flowers in the Attic wasn’t V.C. Andrews’s first book as she wrote the science-fiction novel Gods of Green Mountain before, but the story was unpublished during her lifetime (it was released in e-book in 2004).

V.C. Andrews wrote stories revolving around family secrets and forbidden love, rags-to-riches stories filled with incestuous relationships, rapes, false pregnancies, Wicked grandmothers, rags-to-riches stories, twins, and much more.

After her death from breast cancer in 1986, her family hired a ghostwriter, Andrew Neiderman, to finish the manuscripts she had started, Garden of Shadows and Fallen Hearts. As it has been argued successfully that Virginia Andrews’s name was a valuable commercial asset, Andrew Neiderman has since then continued to write books under her name. So take into account that most of the books published after 1986 have been written by Neiderman.
