>Flowers in the Attic is a 1979 Gothic novel by V. C. Andrews. It is the first book in the Dollanganger Series, [...]. The novel is written in the first-person, from the point of view of Cathy Dollanganger. It was twice adapted into films in 1987 and 2014. The book was extremely popular, selling over forty million copies world-wide.[1]
That's not "banned".

'Banned books' means banned in a couple of highly conservative schools in America.
This would include Harry Potter.
Actually supressed books never feature.

Probably some Uncle Fester's books

Posting an obvious one.

Well, if that's the threshold for being "banned"...

Spooky. These books are banned from discussion from /x too. I don't believe in conspiracy theories but It's like the guy who wrote them intentionally made them about exactly the right combinations of conspiracies to trigger people.

It is. Libraries across America regularly have "banned book" events, touting themselves as brave defenders of the first amendment by displaying content which has become socially acceptable. You won't see The Anarchist Cookbook or The Turner Diaries among such displays.

I'm pretty sure he just spammed both boards with unwanted advertising and the mods thought it was bringing down the quality of the board. Pretty sure that happened.

currently reading this, georgian literature is severely underrated. possibly because it loses a lot in translation.

I have no idea about that. /x was mass deleting threads about them because of too many threads about topics from his books. It resulted in shitposting with different conspiracy theorists arguing amongst each other.

The widespread interest in those books was entirely organic and hardly "spam." And that interest no more constituted advertising than the many and multifarious posts on Blood Meridian.

I think >>17372719 is on to something.

In some strange way, F. Gardner seems to have tapped into the zeitgeist.

Trips don't lie.

Oh shit. The post was deleted. Looks like Horror’s Call really is the mother of all banned books.

Here it is, again. Mods are proving the point by deleting discussions of these books.
