The Gargoyle


Andrew Davidson's debut novel. Part Gothic thriller, part historical fiction, part love story, part fairy tale, and part recovery story (recovery from a horrific car accident, addiction, and mental illness as well). The protagonist finds a sense of self, and the meaning of love and friendship after a car accident renders him physically and emotionally altered. Not a perfect novel, but most certainly inventive, wise and captivating. Most definitely written for adults.
