Unpublished Manuscripts For information about the following three works, go to The V.C. Andrews Collection at Boston University: • Where the Greener Grass Grows (a first draft of Petals on the Wind) • "Golden Things" (a poem) • "Regretting" (a song lyric) The following three manuscripts, all written before or around the time of Flowers in the Attic, deviated from the gothic "children in jeopardy" genre that made Virginia famous. To date, they have not been published. • The Obsessed (an 800-page novel, story unknown) • Castles of the Damned (a 900-page medieval romance) • All The Gallant Snowflakes (story unknown) The Estate of Virginia C. Andrews vs. United States mentions The Obsessed and All The Gallant Snowflakes: "Andrews' literary efforts apart from the 'children in jeopardy' genre did not meet with similar success. Under the terms of the 1979 contract, Andrews was to depart from that format and author a book tentatively entitled The Obsessed. The success of, and the reaction to, Flowers in the Attic, however, prompted the publisher and Andrews' agent, Anita Diamant, to suggest that The Obsessed not be published. Andrews, who by then had completed the manuscript for that book, agreed. Andrews also submitted to Pocket Books two other manuscripts entitled Gods of Green Mountain and All The Gallant Snowflakes which deviated from the 'children in jeopardy' genre. Both were rejected." The Obsessed and Castles of the Damned were both mentioned in an interview with former editor Ann Patty: "When I met Virginia, she had two other novels I knew of. One was Gods of Green Mountain, which was science fiction and was finally published by Pocket as an e-book a few years ago. The other was an 800-page novel called The Obsessed. Some websites claim Flowers in the Attic came from The Obsessed, but it didn't. The two have nothing to do with one another.... There is also another unpublished manuscript, Castles of the Damned, which is a medieval romance of about 900 pages. Her brother still has it." Virginia talks about The Obsessed in a Letter written by V.C. Andrews to a relative dated November 2, 1980: "My editor is flying down as soon as were [sic] are settled in our new home to contract me for another book. If There Be Thorns will be coming out in early summer, possibly June first. After that comes THE OBSESSED and its sequel. Already I've started another, first draft half finished. [handwritten in] (not The Obsessed which is finished)" In Douglas E. Winter's 1985 Faces of Fear interview, Virginia mentions some of her unpublished books: "I have a medieval novel that I would like to get published [Castles of the Damned], and a fantasy that is going to be published [Gods of Green Mountain was originally going to be published in 1986]. And I would like to write a book about someone who has a little bit of the same kind of clairvoyance that I have—the ESP experience."
