!!His works include:
[[folder:Gramma Grunt (short story, 1995)]]
Jason Mitchell, now a man of more than seventy, goes back to the old neighborhood where he lived over sixty years ago, and where he used to be part of a gang of kids who tormented "Gramma Grunt," rumored to be a witch.
* BlackSpeech: She sometimes cries out or chants in an unknown tongue, which may or may not be this.
* BullyingADragon: Jason and his friends really shouldn't have picked on a witch who has ''real powers''.
* {{Curse}}: Gramma Grunt can apparently cast effective ones, which cause extreme bad luck.
* DeadAllAlong: [[spoiler:Jason Mitchell is already undead at the beginning of the story, though he doesn't know it until the very end]].
* DisproportionateRetribution: She causes the death of one kid who pushed her into a puddle, and [[spoiler:raises Jason Mitchell, who had once taunted her, back from the dead ''over sixty years later'' just to taunt him]].
* EvilMakesYouUgly: Her appearance is so extremely hideous, even for an old woman, that it is quite possible that she traded beauty for power in the all-too-common fashion.
* KidsAreCruel: Jason Mitchell and his friends repeatedly taunt Gramma Grunt for no particular reason other than that she is old and weird, and they outnumber her.
* WickedWitch: Though Gramma Grunt is provoked, she fits the classic type: she is creepy, ugly and vindictive.
