Blurb: “Grandfather, What Evil Eyes You Have!

"we have never known whether these things happened or whether Sarah wants them to happen" Disaster follows Sarah in the form of grisly and often fatal accidents. Until she takes refuge in her grandfather's house. But he isn't Grandfather, her mysterious accidents are really his malicious crimes, and the final bit of "bad luck" he plans is her own brutal death.”

Random Review: “This is a comic thriller. Truly scary but with a screwball comedy element. The Better to Eat You features an extended literary metaphor that gets funnier and funnier as the book goes on. It is also an excellent romance. Charlotte Armstrong’s wrote many excellent books in this unique style. She is classed with the Women’s Noir of 1940s and 1950s, but the comedy makes her a special case, and an unforgettable one.”
