[Dollanganger 03] • Bouquet D'épines - Fleurs Captives Tome 3

**Out of the ashes of evil Chris and Cathy made such a loving home for their

splendid children...**

Fourteen-year-old Jory was so handsome, so gentle. And Bart had such a

dazzling imagination for a nine year old.

Then the lights came on in the abandoned house next door. Soon the Old Lady in

Black was there, watching their home with prying eyes, guarded by her strange

old butler. Soon the shrouded woman had Bart over for cookies and ice cream

and asked him to call her "Grandmother."

And soon Bart's transformation began...

A transformation that sprang from "the book of secrets" the gaunt old butler

had given him... a transformation fed by the hint of terrible things about his

mother and father... a transformation that led him into shocking acts of

violence, self-destruction and perversity.

And now while this little boy trembles on the edge of madness, his anguished

parents, his helpless brother, an obsessed old woman and the vengeful,

powerful butler await the climax to a horror that flowered in an attic long

ago, a horror whose thorns are still wet with blood, still tipped with

fire....
