Horror Talk says:

"Cameron Pierce's Gargoyle Girls of Spider Island has drawn comparisons to some of the biggest names in horror. While it's true that you can hear echoes of H.P. Lovecraft and Brian Keene in this tome, the best thing about Gargoyle Girls is that it's entirely a Pierce book. This means the prose is sharp and intelligent, the twists are wild and come at you fast, there's plenty of humor and the story will be over before you want it to be. As with every book I've read by this Wonderland Book Award-winning author, the first page managed to hook me in and my attention was ensnared until the last word.

Part gory horror story, part love story, part island adventure story and all bizarro, Gargoyle Girls is yet another Pierce book that helps redefine what bizarre fiction can be. The author is a man of extremes, but he somehow manages to balance his extremes out. The story is as horrific as it's sexy, as gory as it's humorous and as weird as it's classic. For fans of horror, tensions run high, dismemberment and blood abound and evil monsters unlike any other come out at night. For fans of bizarro, the characters offer a hilarious critique of white rich kids, there's a vagina-headed baby and the ending is an epic and strange love story that could only come from the talented/twisted mind of Pierce.

Monsters, adventure and absurdity collide wonderfully in this deranged tale, just don't be surprised if you read it in one sitting and then find yourself purchasing more of Pierce's work. If you like your horror on the weird side, Gargoyle Girls of Spider Island is a must-read."

Anything Horror says:

"As in all of Pierce's novels and short stories, his writing style just grabs you from the first sentence and draws you into the story like some kind of Siren call.  I couldn't put GARGOYLE GIRLS OF SPIDER ISLAND down and read it in one sitting.  Pierce's characters here are very well fleshed out and have a depth to them that one doesn't always find in bizarro fiction.  Oscar develops over the course of the story and goes from being a spoiled brat to a man taking on a lot of responsibility.  And just wait until you find out how Colette saves the day with her menstrual flow (yikes)!!  The pace is extremely quick and just when you think Pierce might be getting away from bizarro fiction … BAM; he drops the bizarro hammer on your head."

A huge thanks to Gabino Iglesias and Scott Shoyer for taking the time to read and say something kind about this book.

Gargoyle Girls of Spider Island is available in trade paperback and also for the Kindle.
