Here's a short story by one of the creators of the modern short story. And it's really creepy and terrible in a cool weird way. The story's plot is that of vengeance as I'm sure you can guess from the title. It is about a frail mother's desire for vengeance for the death of her son. But she has one problem. How does a frail old lady take vengeance without the help of another? This problem leads to a shocking conclusion that you never would've guessed from the start.

I love Maupassant <3
Well, the story is actually based sometime during the mid to late 19th century in France (I believe) and you can just read it straight from the link - take you probably 10 min, tops.
This sounds interesting though currently I have an image of a granny beating someone up with her handbag. Hehe. I shall certainly keep it in mind though next time I go on a book buying frenzy.
