Description: "Spellbinding. . . . A page-turning adventure that will keep you reading well past bedtime." -The Boston Globe "An undeniably hot book. . . . It's as engrossing as it is gruesome, the kind of horror you watch with one eye closed. . . . A hell of a story." -The Washington Post "Take a deep breath and plunge into this novel. It's a tale of love and redemption told through Davidson's haunting prose. " -USA Today "A transportingly unhinged debut. . . . Vigorous and impressive." -The New York Times "Keeps the pages turning." -The Plain Dealer "Take a deep breath and plunge into this novel. It's a tale of love and redemption told through Davidson's haunting prose." -USA Today "Mr. Davidson skillfully assembles a centuries-old puzzle involving a series of fables of undying love. . . . The reader is kept guessing until the final pages." -The Wall Street Journal "Mixes medical drama with medieval religious lore to explore the boundaries of faith and forgiveness. . . . Compelling." -San Francisco Chronicle "Reads like the mad spawn of Anne Rice and Stephen King." -Providence Journal "Original and highly addictive. . . . Captivating. . . . An impressive, memorable debut." -The Denver Post "A story that sweeps us in with no protest. You want to be lost in its pages. . . . The real tragedy of this book is that it ends." -Daily News "Beguiling. . . . Mixing romance, classic allusion and reality, Davidson's debut is a bravura performance." -Marie Claire "I was blown awayby Andrew Davidson'sThe Gargoyle. It reminded me ofLife of Pi, with its unanswered (and unanswerable) contradictions. A hypnotic, horrifying, astonishingnovel that manages, against all odds, to be redemptive." -Sara Gruen, author ofWater for Elephants "The Gargoyleis purely and simply an amazement, a riot, a blast. It's hard to believe that this is Andrew Davidson's first novel: He barrels out of the chute with the narrative brio and confidence, not to mention the courage, of a seasoned master. This book plucks the reader off the ground and whirls her through the air until she shouts from sheer abandonment and joy. What a great, grand treat." -Peter Straub
