I just re-read the short story a couple of days ago. Great stuff and one of the strangest short stories you're likely to come across. Lafferty is quite unlike any other SF author before or since.

His wikipedia entry has links to several works online, including 900 Grandmothers.

The background is messed up at the SciFi.com Wayback links. You'll have to highlight the text to read it.
Edit: Google Books may be a better option. It has sample pages of the collection, but Nine Hundred Grandmothers is intact.
