In this episode we are stepping into V.C. Andrews' notorious novel "Flowers in the Attic" and its sequel "Petals on the Wind". It's an equally sexy and skeevy episode in which we discuss the Gothic tradition, the incest scale, and the puberty sweats. With that said, this is an official content note (CN) that we discuss rape and incest in this episode so tread lightly if these are sensitive subjects for you. We recommend, if possible, that you listen to this episode with your sibling.
