American author of popular novels that successfully combine the genres of family saga and gothic horror. She is best remembered for Flowers in the Attic, which became an instant bestseller when published in 1979. 
After her death she left a large amount of unpublished material so the ghostwriter, Andrew Neiderman, was hired by her estate to continue writing and publishing more novels under the name of Virginia Andrews.
