Description

What does it feel like to be burned, not just a small area of skin, a fingertip, but to be totally burned, to be sizzling, blistering - alive in an inferno What does it feel like to have the rotting burned skins scrubbed from your body To be left in such pain and so scarred that death becomes your only aim And then to meet a woman who's convinced she nursed you in medieval Germany - a madwoman who carves gargoyles, who hears their screams as she releases them from the stone Is it possible to see beauty in the stories she tells Is it possible that there is truth in her stories Is it possible to find love in madness Is it possible to save her The Gargoyle is a wild, beautiful, brilliant journey, sweeping across centuries, full of stories within stories.
