Flowers in the Attic

The non-linear narrative added layers of suspense and revealed secrets gradually. I wonder if this was planned from the start or evolved during writing.

The characters' actions are so morally complex, making it hard to know who to root for or condemn. Did this emotional ambiguity enhance or detract from the story for others?

The dark, oppressive atmosphere really amplified the sense of dread and mystery. I’m curious how much of that was inspired by classic Gothic literature.
