On a dark road in the middle of the night, a car plunges into a ravine. The driver survives the crash, but his injuries confine him to a hospital burn unit.

As she spins the story of their past lives together, the man's disbelief falters; soon, even the impossible can no longer be dismissed.

Reviews
"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 away by Andrew Davidson's The Gargoyle . It reminded me of Life of Pi , with its unanswered (and unanswerable) contradictions. A hypnotic, horrifying, astonishing novel that manages, against all odds, to be redemptive." -Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants " The Gargoyle is 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, "Spellbinding. . . .

On the border between Neutral & Positive, mainly b/c the book was shipped between a not-very-protective "envelope" of 2 pieces of sticky paper. Not surprisingly when the US Mail got its mitts on the book they banged it up some. Not bad enough to send back, but unnecessarily dinged up when a $2 bubble envelope from Walmart & a cardboard insert would've likely protected it better. Still, it was affordably priced so that pushes my rating to "Positive".
