Lost and Unpublished V.C. Andrews Stories

V.C. Andrews (Cleo Virginia Andrews) was a best-selling author of gothic fiction during the 1970s and 1980s, best known for the infamous Flowers in the Attic. After her death in 1986, a ghostwriter was selected by her estate to continue writing and publishing books under her name.

Despite the continuing popularity of stories by her or under her name, Andrews had several manuscripts that went unpublished during her lifetime and have yet to see the light of day. In 2004, Andrews' first novel, The Gods of Green Mountain, was finally published in eBook format. The book was a sort of departure from her other works, being a sci-fi novel.

According to the Andrews fansite, The Complete V.C. Andrews, there are three known unpublished manuscripts by Andrews. One novel,The Obsessed, is often mistaken for the original manuscript for Flowers in the Attic, but according the editor of Flowers, Ann Patty, The Obsessed is a completely unrelated 800-page novel. Patty also mentioned a 900-page medieval romance under the title The Castles of the Damned, which is in possession of her brother. A third novel, All The Gallant Snowflakes, was mentioned along with The Obsessed in the judge's memorandum order of in The Estate of Virginia C. Andrews vs. The United States. It is unknown when, or if, any of these manuscripts will be published.
