Line 21:
* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Combined with [[Rape as Drama]] and pushed to extremes in ''Bio of a Space Tyrant''.
* [[Dirty Old Man]]: Self-professed even. Not really a surprise to anyone who has read anything he's written.
* [[Disposable Woman]]: Nearly all of his books have these; very often as [[Distressed Damsel in Distress|Distressed Damsels]]. Women in ''Bio of a Space Tyrant'' seem to exist solely to be [[Stuffed Into the Fridge|brutally raped and murdered]].
* [[Eskimos Aren't Real]]: In "Possible To Rue", a young boy's pleas for a pet pegasus leads his father to look the animal up in the encyclopedia and show that they're mythical. So are unicorns. To the father's astonishment, so are [[Inverted Trope|zebras, mules, and even horses]], which he distinctly remembers placing bets on. It's implied that, by denying zebras are real to avoid having to buy one, the father has inadvertently begun erasing these creatures from the universe.
* [[Fetish Fuel Station Attendant]], particularly [[Blood Lust]]: Colene in the ''Mode'' series. At 14, [[Emo Teen|she's a suicidal cutter]], [[Rape as Drama|she's been gang-raped]], [[Wrong Side of the Tracks|she runs around with a gang member named]] [[Names to Run Away From Really Fast|"Slick"]], [[Abusive Parents|her parents are emotionally abusive]] ([[The Alcoholic|and alcoholics]])... [[Sarcasm Mode|Quite an accomplished young lady.]]
