THE GARGOYLICON: IMAGININGS AND IMAGES OF THE GARGOYLE IN LITERATURE AND ART is a compendium of visions and unique perspectives on this intriguing and enigmatic figure. Beyond its function as a water spout to send potentially damaging rain water away from walls and foundations of buildings, it has also been seen as both a symbol of Evil forces and, in seeming contradiction, as a protector against the same. Was it meant to also frighten the unbeliever into faith and keeping the "straight and narrow path, " or, perhaps, to attract pagans due to its grotesque and monstrous appearance-the stuff of their legends?
The poetry, fiction, and art in this tome offer a great variety of perspectives upon and interpretations of these wonders.
