Charles de Lint/YMMV


 * Canon Sue: Jilly, to a certain extent. By the time Widdershins rolls around, it's damn near meta.
 * Complete Monster: The Big Bads of De Lint's earlier high fantasy novels tend to play this trope straight. He has gradually abandoned it in favor of more nuanced antagonists. A notable recent exception is  in Widdershins. Justified given that he is the personification of   trauma resulting from abuse   suffered as a child.
