The Last Gargoyle

by Paul Durham

  All of that said, I won’t comment on whether a solitary stone Grotesque resides on a rooftop overlooking Boston’s streets. And if one does, I certainly won’t tell you where to find him. I don’t think the building’s owners would welcome you sniffing around. But I will say this: Should you stumble upon our hero, please don’t mention I sent you. And whatever you do, don’t call him Goyle.

  —Paul Durham
