I think it might have been because the author was into Spiritualism in one point? I'm not exactly sure if that was when she wrote THotHoC but I did read that she got into it sometime later in her life. @Jenny - yeah, she was.

I was really influenced by the whole Dollanganger series, it really touched me to see the suffering of their children. Did you happen to watch the movie at all? Unfortunately I bought it, and upon watching it, realized that they completely slaughtered the book with it. I just don't think that you can translate the work of VCA into a movie the way that it should be.

One thing I could not stand through out the book was the fact that I could never learn to like Arden. He never seemed to understand Audrina, even though he witnessed everything that happened to her. And no, Neiderman's version of VC Andrews will never compare to her original works. I don't care for the newest books, but I enjoyed them up until the end of the Logan series.
