  • "Gargoyles! For centuries we have adorned our rooftops with these mythical and mysterious beasts. Some say these fantastic creatures represent the souls of the condemned, turned to stone before they could flee judgment. Others say they are actually agents of good, warding off far more devilish spirits. Almost every city, town, and village has at least a few gargoyles spying from some lofty perch. Sometimes frightening, sometimes comical, these frozen figures seem strangely alive ... as if ready to awaken at any moment. What is it about them that so fascinates the minds of men? Come pierce the shroud of mystery and superstition that surrounds these most recognizable of cursed creatures. Learn what their bearing and expression say about their plight ... and yours. From the spires of Notre Dame, to the halls of Oxford and Princeton University, to the skyline of New York, join us as we delve into the amazing legends and surprising reality of these carved creatures."
