Review of Greetings from a Gruesome Gargoyle by Ẃeβ࿚ẂỉԎḈĥ Author Icon

This is an amusing tale that uses the idea of a gargoyle that roams the library during the month of October seeking mischief. The personality of the creature comes through quite strongly and we follow it through several adventures in which it creates accidents through the simple trigger of falling books. And it eats books (always wondered what they ate).

The whole tale is told through the eyes of the gargoyle which brings the reader much closer into the story than if it were reported from another view. We are, at least to some extent, on the creature's side, enjoying its harmless little tricks and schemes. It's amusing but not hilarious.

There is a slight weakness right at the end, where you allow yourself to comment on things with a few exclamations and noises. Doesn't work, I'm afraid - we're a bit too jaded and cynical these days to go along with such forms of expression in text form. I know it's an attempt to illustrate the sudden pain of the rattrap mishap, but it'd better to let us watch rather than hear it happen.

But it's a fun piece overall and bound to brighten our days. Good work!
