Anthony’s house is full of family photos — of his parents’ trip to Paris, his great aunt, and Anthony himself as a toddler, holding his favorite rock. When Anthony wakes up one morning, he sees that his “rock” has cracked open — it’s hollow inside. He doesn’t see the little face peering out from the closet. Later, he discovers the newly hatched creature and they become friends. Anthony asks his mother about the rock, and she shows him a photo album of a trip to Paris. Anthony sees that his friend resembles the gargoyles at Notre-Dame cathedral. Back in his room, he shows the photos to the baby gargoyle who looks at them with longing. News arrives that Anthony’s great aunt is in hospital. The family travel to Paris to visit, and Anthony secretly brings the baby gargoyle. When the family have a chance to climb Notre-Dame’s tower, Anthony and his friend wander from one gargoyle to the next … until the baby gargoyle sees one that looks just like him.

What the Gargoyle Sees is a collection of new and selected poems ranging from science fiction and fantasy to myth, horror, and fairy tale retellings. Flipping perspective and helping us see anew, Gene Twaronite's What the Gargoyle Sees is playfully haunting and hauntingly playful. Full of sincerity and surprise, these poems help us see, "We are each a wholly trinity." Twaronite's formal dexterity delights with multiple meanings and swerves. Here is a world where gallivanting, thankfully, is not dead. What a gift TC Tolbert, Tucson Poet LaureateWhat the Gargoyle Sees pairs creative settings with a realist's eye-the book is full of moving poems that put Twaronite's contemporary sensibility in settings rooted in myth, history, and invention. From the interstellar to the metaphysical, the poems take their occasions imaginatively-but rarely remain in the imagination alone. Instead, Twaronite melds the fabular with the particulars of lived experience. What the gargoyle truly sees, in the end, is the world we've made. It is what I like most about these poems: the way they start in the ether but find meaning in the heart. Tyler J. Meier, Executive Director, University of Arizona Poetry CenterFrom the poignancy of what the gargoyle sees of the children in the war-torn streets below to the magic glow you can experience in four o'clock light when reason gives way to wonder, Gene's poetry can often be surprising and thought-provoking, yet written with an honest simplicity that makes them so enjoyable to read. As the yellow snake says to Gene, "I only wanted to tell you] a story to live in for a time and forget."Susan Shell Winston, Editor at NewMyths.com & Author of Singer of Norgondy

Gargoyles aren't supposed to have pesky things like emotions. If I don't get mine under control, I'll be forced to spend the next hundred years stoned-and not in the way you are thinking I've spent my life being told I'm a failure, thanks to my inability to become the emotionless, logic-driven gargoyle I'm supposed to be. Despite my years of effort, I can't figure out how my species manages to teach themselves to be emotionless, and it seems the harder I try, the more I suck at controlling my feels. The fix, according to my parents, is sending me to Slaymore Academy instead of a gargoyle college. That way, I can get my degree without drawing too much attention from the Gargoyle Council until I've conquered my emotions and can stand before them as a proper gargoyle. At least, that's the plan. But things start shaking up-literally, with repeated earthquakes-and my mentor collapses from a mystery illness. I agree to team up with Thane, a sexy hellhound who can feed on my emotions, to get to the bottom of things. It doesn't take long for me to realize that being around Thane is stirring feelings inside me I've never experienced, and it's unraveling the progress I've made over the past three years. Before coming to Slaymore, I'd never questioned my future. I just accepted that being a proper gargoyle meant protecting my own city, being assigned a partner to reproduce with, and a life spent watching the world pass by on the streets far below my rooftop perch with few interactions outside of my corvid companions. Now I'm wondering if there could be a different life for me-one where I don't have to give up my emotions, my boisterous friends, or the sexy hellhound who claims I belong to him. I'm starting to wonder if my future truly is set in stone... or if I can carve out my own destiny. Grading with a Gargoyle is the second book in the Slaymore Academy series.The steam builds a little slower than some of my other books, but when it kicks in, there is plenty of heat in the bedroom... and other places. Each book in the Slaymore Academy series is a standalone, featuring a different girl struggling to fit in with the rest of her species, who finds herself at Slaymore. Every book in this series will end with a HEA... so no cliffhangers Since these books feature various paranormals who possess a variety of abilities, the steamy parts of the books will definitely take advantage of those skills.
