Flowers in the Attic

Cathy Dollanganger thought she had a perfect life -- until the day the shocking news of her father's death came...

The promise of a new tomorrow helped ease the pain of what The Dresden Dolls (Cathy, Chris, Carrie, and Cory) knew was waiting ahead for them at Foxworth Hall. The family they had never known would now take the form of something evil...

Not knowing what to do or where to turn, their hope and faith in their mother's love kept them going.

But Cathy knew that she would learn the secrets to why they must be kept hidden away from the world. She knew that one day, she too would get her revenge on the woman she called Mother...

Petals on the Wind

After the loss of Cory, Cathy, Chris, and Carrie looked for a future without their brother. They were free at last from the grip of their Grandmother and Mother. Only the kindness of one man could help them look towards a better life.

Finally, they had become a real family again, but Cathy would never really forget... In and out of relationships, Cathy knew there was something she needed to do once and for all. She wanted her Grandmother and Mother to suffer as they had once suffered. Cathy was willing to do anything it took to get her revenge...

If There Be Thorns

Chris and Cathy made such a loving home for fourteen year old Jory -- so handsome, so gentle. And for Bart, who had such an imagination for a nine year old.

Then the lights came on in the house next door. Soon he Old Lady in Black was there, watching them, guarded by her strange old butler. Soon she had Bart over for cookies and ice cream and asked him to call her "Grandmother."

And soon Bart's transformation began...

Fed by the hint of terrible things about his mother and father... leading him into shocking acts of violence.

Now while this little boy trembles on the edge of madness, his anguished parents await the climax to a horror that flowered in an attic long ago, a horror whose thorns are still wet with blood, still tipped with fire...

Seeds of Yesterday

After years of waiting for a life of happiness, Cathy and Chris are back at Foxworth Hall due to Bart's persistence. But even though it wasn't the "real" house they had once been locked away in, the feeling of tragedy comes back to haunt Cathy and her family.

Bart's strange obsession with being better than Jory and torturing Cindy causes the family to be at constant war with each other.

The never-ending battle that once began in the attic of Foxworth Hall has begun again.

Garden of Shadows

Olivia dreamed of a sun-filled love, a happy life. Then she entered Foxworth Hall...

Long before terror flowered in the attic, thin, spinsterish Olivia came to Virginia as Malcolm Foxworth's bride.

At last, with her tall husband, she would find the joy she had waited for, longed for. But in the gloomy mansion filled with hidden rooms and festering desires, a stain of jealous obsession begins to spread... an evil that will threaten her children, two lovely boys and one very special beautiful girl. For within one innocent child, a shocking secret lives... a secret that will taint the proud Foxworth name, and haunt all their lives forever!
