The Gallery: Notes on ContributorsGargoyle blurb For centuries, they have watched over us... Leering. from the arches and peaks of ancient cathedrals. Spreading their wings across hallowed doorways. Even decorating our homes in stony, silent elegance. Are they angels or demons? Sacred or profane? ...features fifteen original stories and two classic tales of the legendary gargoyle. The contributors range from bestselling masters to the hottest newcomers — award-winners, artists, musicians, and, yes, gargoyle collectors. Each of them ' experts at drawing blood from a stone...Under normal circumstances, would have been unable to resist diving straight into this the moment I got it home last Friday, but the Robinson releases, supplemented by Bad Book Club and ongoing seeking out of material for exciting 'Women of Weird Tales & rivals' project means even the S&M bits in John Norman's Hunters Of Gor and Peter Tremayne's all-devouring The Ants must wait their turn and like it. So, unless some kindly soul steps in and guides us through it, we'll have to settle for yet another lousy stub post until such times, etc., as even the few reprints - by pre-trademark Harlan Ellison, Charles de Lint and Brian Lumley with an extract from a novella first published in Weird Tales - are new to me Must compliment Nancy Kilpatrick for such an inspired idea for a theme anthology. Will it live up to it's potential?

Just can't seem to get into it at all.
