I have a fiction addiction. All things fantastical and truth bending is more my style, and has always been.

1. Flowers in the Attic by V.C. Andrews

A grandmother locks four children in an attic for years — and during that time, a shocking discovery is made by one of the children that makes the blood run cold. It is this discovery and their horrifying experiences that will shape who they are for the rest of their lives…

V.C Andrews passed on in the 90s I think, but an entrusted writer has continued her works and there is a movie(perhaps two!) for Flowers in the Attic.
