Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Publisher's summary
Celebrate the 40th anniversary of the enduring gothic masterpiece Flowers in the Attic - the unforgettable forbidden love story that earned V.C. Andrews a fiercely devoted fan base and became an international cult classic.
At the top of the stairs there are four secrets hidden - blond, innocent, and fighting for their lives....
They were a perfect and beautiful family - until a heartbreaking tragedy shattered their happiness. Now, for the sake of an inheritance that will ensure their future, the children must be hidden away out of sight, as if they never existed. They are kept in the attic of their grandmother’s labyrinthine mansion, isolated and alone. As the visits from their seemingly unconcerned mother slowly dwindle, the four children grow ever closer and depend upon one another to survive both this cramped world and their cruel grandmother. A suspenseful and thrilling tale of family, greed, murder, and forbidden love, Flowers in the Attic is the unputdownable first novel of the epic Dollanganger family saga.
The Dollanganger series includes: Flowers in the Attic, Petals in the Wind, If There Be Thorns, Seeds of Yesterday, Garden of Shadows, Beneath the Attic, and Out of the Attic.

Loved the book so much but...
I loved listening to this book, the story has always intrigued me. The narration was very good. Story is so good...But if you’ve never read/listened to the story before skip the whole forward part because it completely ruins it. It had been a long time and I had forgotten many things about the story but the forward gives it all away. Other than that totally worth it and loved it.

Good but distressing story
Greatly enjoyed this book. It evoked a great deal of emotion most of which was hate and disgust. The foreword for the book made me angry because it told some facts about the story that should have been left for the reader to discover! Why would you allow that??

a rewrite of what was a very good read
this isnt VC Andrews style of writing too many changes and details ommitted. The story is the same but im not left with any of the questions that the real book left. this seems more of a story written after the lifetime movie.

Unbelievable
I have a bit of a compulsive nature which makes me finish books. I did consider not finishing Flowers in the Attic.This book is not well written, it is not interesting. I just kept wishing it would end. If you like incest, sex with children, intent to kill, those kinds of things, well maybe you should read this. I keep thinking that who ever wrote this has something seriously wrong with them. This is a sick sick mind in my opinion.

Pure Unadulterated Depression
My Lord.. I just feel sad and not good after listening to this. I mean the narrator was great and the story started intriguing, but Christ there’s only so much someone can take. I’m gonna go take a Zoloft now..

Different reading as an adult
I read this as a dramatic tween, and it’s definitely very different reading this as a critical adult. The story is dark (I don’t understand that people call it horror, though it does show the very worst of humans) The incest isn’t that shocking in this context, I was more upset by the rape. I wish it hadn’t been written in first person. The writing is decent, but first person tends to give most stories like this a whiny undertone. I got really sick about hearing how gorgeous everyone was, and there was an unhealthy interest in the beauty of her parents and siblings by the protagonist. She definitely had a bit of a screw loose from page one

Still a good story I guess
First, the forward contains major plot spoilers. I have seen the movie, but it was so long ago I'd forgotten some parts. The spoilers played automatically as the first chapter and I was super disappointed.
Second, the voice actress was pleasant to listen to, but the voices she used for all the characters were nearly the same. It was hard to tell who was talking sometimes.

Want to hear more but ye didn't record book 2
Really enjoyed it but when looking for book 2 it doesn't appear to be on Audible. Books 3+ are, just missing the next one which is really disappointing

Great yet disturbing Where is book 2?
I read this many years ago when i was in my teens and then went on to read the following books in the series. This first book still held my attention even now.
The narration is quite good. and successfully takes you in to the attic. My one disappointment is that I can't find Book Two Petals in the wind.

Skip the prologue
Wish I had read the other review that says to skip the prologue! Spoilt some of the story for me. But the book is brilliant. About 1/5 of the way in I started to get bored but a little further on, and I couldn’t stop listening. Fantastic narration too

A harrowing classic
One of the best depictions of narcissistic & abusive personalities ever written. An extreme of course but a classic psychological horror

The audiobook for the Book 2 - Petals on the Wind
There's no audiobook for Petals on the Wind - which is the second book in this series. I hope they create one soon. I would like to listen to the entire series.

I could not stop listening. So beautifully read the story that I read when it first came out as a teenager brought back every memory.

Disturbing
Warning, do not read the forward! Unless you want to know all the main details and many spoilers of the story you’re about to listen to!
This book is well written, but very creepy and downright disturbing on many levels.

Jealousy, tragedy, survival, and revenge - the discovery of Christopher’s diary in the ruins of Foxworth Hall brings new secrets of the Dollanganger family to light and obsesses a new generation. With Flowers in the Attic and Petals on the Wind both now major Lifetime TV events, this first new addition to the Dollanganger story in nearly 30 years is a timely look at the events in the attic - from teenage Christopher’s point of view.
