Life as a monster is a sh*t pile with a cherry on top...It's hard to be a monster in a world full of goddesses and humans. Especially when, on a rare occasion, you happen to accidentally kill a person here or there. And people, for some reason, seem to think you're the bad guy. Crazy, right?But if there's one thing a monster knows, it's that life can always get worse.Like when you're enemies, the gargoyles, finally manage to get their hands on you. And as hot as that sounds, they're not exactly putting their hands where you want them, if you know what I mean.Because while the rest of the world sees gargoyles as the sexy white knights charged with protecting humanity, they're kind of protecting them from us... by taking our heads.So that's what we're dealing with now. Being hated by the world, kidnapped by hot gargoyles, and preparing for whatever the next disaster might be.It's strange though. Sometimes the Fates have plans and maybe this time we monsters might get our happily-ever-afters too.MONSTERS AND GARGOYLES is a box set of the first three full-length books in the Monsters and Gargoyles series: Medusa's Destiny, Keto's Tale, and Celaeno's Fate. These are steamy reverse harem stories set in modern-day, with sassy heroines, and hot-as-sin gargoyles. So, be ready for three standalones about Medusa, a mermaid, and a harpy, in a shared universe that will leave you begging for more.

Most of the seven million people who visit the cathedral of Notre Dame in Paris each year probably do not realize that the legendary gargoyles adorning this medieval masterpiece were not constructed until the nineteenth century. The first comprehensive history of these world-famous monsters, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame argues that they transformed the iconic thirteenth-century cathedral into a modern monument. Michael Camille begins his long-awaited study by recounting architect Eugène Viollet-le-Duc’s ambitious restoration of the structure from 1843 to 1864, when the gargoyles were designed, sculpted by the little-known Victor Pyanet, and installed. These gargoyles, Camille contends, were not mere avatars of the Middle Ages, but rather fresh creations—symbolizing an imagined past—whose modernity lay precisely in their nostalgia. He goes on to map the critical reception and many-layered afterlives of these chimeras, notably in the works of such artists and writers as Charles Méryon, Victor Hugo, and photographer Henri Le Secq. Tracing their eventual evolution into icons of high kitsch, Camille ultimately locates the gargoyles’ place in the twentieth-century imagination, exploring interpretations by everyone from Winslow Homer to the Walt Disney Company. Lavishly illustrated with more than three hundred images of its monumental yet whimsical subjects, The Gargoyles of Notre-Dame is a must-read for historians of art and architecture and anyone whose imagination has been sparked by the lovable monsters gazing out over Paris from one of the world’s most renowned vantage points.

Gargoyles are an architectural feature designed to throw rainwater clear of the walls of a building. Widely used on medieval churches, these water spouts were often richly decorated, and fashioned as serpents' heads and other fanciful shapes. Today, the term gargoyle is also popularly applied to any carved decorative head or creature high up on a building and this book is an exploration of all of these enchanting features. Written by an academic and stonecarver, it is the perfect introduction to this fascinating subject. Gargoyles aims to provide a concise introduction to the stone carvings often found on religious and secular buildings in Britain from the medieval period to the modern. It will explore the typical imagery, some of the theories put forward to explain them, as well as consider the carvings within their architectural and social contexts. Incorporating recent and current research, the book will nevertheless be accessible to the general reader.

But even he is outmatched when Hetty, his newest ward, nearly falls victim to the Boneless King, the ruler of the underworld. Then there's Viola, the mysterious girl who keeps turning up at the most unlikely times. In a world where nightmares come to life, Viola could be just the ally Penhallow needs. But can he trust her when every shadow hides another secret? Can he afford not to?
