Guest Post by E.S.P. Why Gargoyles? When creating Dawn of the Apocalypse, I had to think of some type of monster. One that would keep you up at night. Make you afraid to turn off the lights. Unfortunately, zombies, werewolves, and vampires have been done to the death. Besides I wanted something fresh and new. Something different. And that would require some thinking on my part.
