Guys, I was snooping around the Web for a potential future post on the works of Andrew Neiderman (VC's ghostwriter), when I suddenly found this little piece of joy:
Can you see that blurb at the top of the cover?
"A MASTER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL THRILLERS!"
--V.C. ANDREWS
Except this book came out in 1992. V.C. died in 1986.
When I saw this novel at a seedy used bookstore, I had exactly the same reaction. First, I thought it was unsettling, but then I couldn't help but chuckle.
I got excited for a minute because I was watching this movie on Netflix called Sister, Sister and it's all gothic and it's set in the Louisiana bayou and then I remembered this post and thought "Wait a second! Didn't Andrew Neiderman write a novel with this title?" But it's not the same story. This came out in 1987 anyway. But it is VERY V.C. Andrews so I recommend it to anyone that's interested.
Man, if you're going to blurb yourself, go all out! "BEST DAMN BOOK I'VE EVER READ, EVER!" or "BEST AUTHOR EVER. IN THE HISTORY OF EVER." Too funny.

ReplyDeletehahaha! That is too funny! Talk about promoting yourself. Shameless just shameless. BTW, I like how your blog is set up.

I didn't even know that this existed.
ReplyDeleteWow, now that's tacky.
