The title character of a story by this author grinds his large teeth on several occasions, including when his employer forces him to drink several flagons of wine and when that man shoves his girlfriend Trippetta to the ground. Two of this author's stories were written to spite his rivals Elizabeth F. Ellet, who embroiled him in scandal, and Thomas Dunn English. He wrote a story about a dwarf who tricks a king and his councilors into dressing as (*) orangutans, then burns them to death. Another of his stories features a character whose family coat of arms reads "Nemo me impune lacessit". In that story, the expertise of Luchesi is mocked by a man who gets drunk, then shackled and bricked up in a cellar alcove, by Montresor. For 10 points, name this American author of "Hop-Frog" and "The Cask of Amontillado".
