I don't however think they were appropriate for kids. I know many people let their kids read them but I think the entire premise is a bit much for a 10 year old.
I would have been allowed when I was a kid, but my parents never really censored what I read or the music I listened to. I read "Flowers In the Attic" when I was about ten, and that's also when I started getting into Stephen King. I'm not sure that's a good thing, but I don't think it made me screwed up or anything. I skimmed over a lot of what I didn't understand, intuiting I wasn't supposed to at my age. I've gone back and read a lot of those books, and I have aha! moments all the time :p
My parents didn't censor what I read but at 10, I was still reading books geared toward young girls. I had a few books written from the perspective of children during war but they weren't super detailed.
