The Green Knowe Chronicles/YMMV


 * Fridge Horror:
 * To a child reading the second book, Stefton and Caxton's treatment of Jacob is pretty nasty; it's even worse, however, from the point of view of an adult who is aware of the racial context and overtones.
 * Caxton's plan to marry nine-year-old Susan is even worse to an adult, who knows what people do when they are married.
 * High Octane Nightmare Fuel: In the fifth book, when Melanie sends a curse to Tolly's grandmother, carved on the skin of a child's hand.
 * The maggots and snakes also count as this.
 * The scene in the sixth book, when the Saxons are slaughtering the Britons.
 * Squick: Caxton plans to take over Green Knowe. His plans include marrying nine-year-old Susan.
 * They Just Didn't Care: In the fifth book, the author admits that she simply made up the witchcraft depicted in the story.
