Petals on the Wind–Cover Post

You guys. You guys. You. Guys. Look at it. Just…look at it. This is my favorite V.C. Andrews stepback picture. I mean, it has to be. It’s incredible. Like most of the Dollanganger stepbacks, it’s pretty straightforward, cast-wise: Carrie, Cathy, Christopher, with Olivia (!) in front. Like the later Landry stepbacks, it shows an actual…

Flowers in the Attic–the Cover

So there they are. The Dresden Dolls. (No, not those) The Dollanganger/Foxworth tribe, the Fearsome Foursome. This stepback is amazingly simple: The four children (from the left: Christopher, Cathy, Carrie, and Cory), looking haunted and pale and being tormented by the looming specter of Christopher Walken. I’ve always found it interesting that it’s not Olivia…

Tarnished Gold–Cover Post!

Hey y’all! So here it is. The final cover in the Landry series. At long, long last we get to look upon the face of that fabled SWAMP fairy, Gabrielle Landry. Maybe we’ll get to see young Pierre too! Young Grandmere Catherine! Young Grandpere! Young Octavious Tate, glowering in the background! Maybe– Or maybe we’ll…

Hidden Jewel: Cover Post

Oooooh it’s so mysterious ooooooooooooooooh Meh. This cover (which is actually the back of the book for me, since I own this gem in ~*hardcover*~) is a pretty straightforward one. There aren’t a ton of characters, but it gets a lot of the general atmosphere of the book into it nicely. So, in front there,…

All That Glitters: The Cover

This has always been my favorite of the Landry series covers, because everyone looks so darn good. And so darn melodramatic! As with the cover of Pearl in the Mist, the All That Glitters cover gives us a little vignette that shows off several of the book’s plot points in one delightful freeze frame. There’s actually…

Pearl in the Mist–The Cover

Thanks as always and forever to The V.C. Andrews Cover Gallery. No, seriously, who is this chick? I’m going to assume, from her center position on the cover, and the fact that she’s wearing a locket that Beau gives Ruby in the book, and the fact that she looks so damn overcome that she’s supposed…

Ruby: The Cover

And we’re off! Thanks to The V.C. Andrews Cover Gallery, from whom I have snitched this cover. Front and center, as is the case with most stepback covers, we have our heroine. In this case, our girl is Ruby Landry, who is CAJUN (never forget that, not ever), a sweet, naive girl from the SWAMPS…

What’s in a cover?

As a change of pace, I want to do another cover post. See, I’ve recently discovered the V.C. Andrews Cover Gallery, and thanks to that delightful site, I’ve learned that My Sweet Audrina has gotten some pretty interesting covers around the world. So let’s go! First up, is the U.S. Hardcover, er, Cover. It’s basically…

MSA-The Cover

As anyone who has ever read a VCA novel knows, the covers were some of the best parts. The editions that I grew up with all featured a cover with a cutout framing the heroine’s face, and opened up to a stepback picture depicting the heroine surrounded by various other characters. Before we get into…
