The book's original publisher tells all

The story behind Flowers in the Attic

The classic (if not exactly good) (and inappropriately sexual) (although honestly I find the pro-anorexia message more disturbing) book Flowers in the Attic is a legendary work of pulp fiction. The Toast recently sat down with the publisher who originally bought the manuscript for the first book, and learned about the back-story behind this campy fictional feast. Hilarious!
