"If you like delightful, surprising stories, this little book will not disappoint. Don't let the title throw you too far, or do, and get ready for the sharp left and right turns, and skid marks."

"What a fun read. With spice and humor, Marty Malin describes adventures that older people may take and dangers they may face. There are also spite and jealousy and perversion within these tales, and the revenge is wicked."

"Grandmother's Devil has 6 tales, all so uniquely and beautifully written you'll feel a pang of sadness when you finish reading one because it has ended.
