Gramma

Summary: What big teeth you have gramma....
Review: This story brings family scandal up close and very personal to the young hero left at home alone to look after an invalid grandma for a few hours. The boy's instinctive fear of the old lady is tested in a few horrifying minutes where she acts like the old witch she is suspected of being. The tale is particularly chilling because of King's ability to glide from the natural to the supernatural without the reader struggling to suspend disbelief along the way.

The point of view of the old lady was from the eyes of a child and was not a compassionate view and was not likely intended to be considering the evil nature of grandma. It emphasized all the physical frailties of aging, so if you are sensitive to this, don't read this story!
