Gargoyle 40th Anniversary

Edited and published by Richard Peabody, along with the work of Associate Editor Lucinda Ebersole, Gargoyle celebrates 40 years of publishing with a ‘two-sided’ issue: Issue 65 – Side 1 and Issue 66 – Side 2. Sadly, Lucinda passed away March 20, 2017, as Peabody notes, “I’m heartbroken that my literary partner in crime has passed away. My plan is to shepherd her short story manuscripts and novel into print over the next few years. She was one of a kind and the funniest human I have ever known.”

Gargoyle‘s impression on the literary landscape is vast, and it’s with great hope and support for Richard and his staff that they will continue well into the future. In celebration, from the Gargoyle website:
