From the award-winning author of The Face in the Frost comes the story of three brothers who rescue a talking gargoyle from their neighborhood junkyard Michael, David, and Alphonsus Jr. (aka Fonsy) are spending the summer trying to blow up the town dock and playing marathon Monopoly games. On the brink of death-by-boredom, they head to the local dump in search of treasures—such as oil cans that Michael can use to build a submarine. But what they find is far from garbage. Staring out at them, between two black stovepipes, is the head of a grinning stone gargoyle with shifty eyes and a long snout. He demands that the brothers take him home to live with them, so the boys wrap him in blankets and cart him back in a wagon. At the house, the gargoyle regales them with vivid tales of his exploits in faraway times and places. He even comes up with endlessly inventive ways of terrorizing the boys’ irritatingly dull neighbors. Finally, this is a summer worth writing home about. The Gargoyle in the Dump is a recently discovered, never-before-published story. Also included are two pages of the author’s original typed manuscript and an introduction from his long-time literary agent, Richard Curtis. John Bellairs is beloved as a master of Gothic young adult novels and fantasies. His series about the adventures of Lewis Barnavelt and his uncle Jonathan, which includes The House with a Clock in Its Walls, is a classic. He also wrote a series of novels featuring the character Johnny Dixon. Among the titles in that series are The Curse of the Blue Figurine; The Mummy, the Will, and the Crypt; and The Spell of the Sorcerer’s Skull. His stand-alone novel The Face in the Frost is also regarded as a fantasy classic, and among his earlier works are St. Fidgeta and Other Parodies and The Pedant and the Shuffly. Bellairs was a prolific writer, publishing more than a dozen novels before his untimely death in 1991.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Having your own magic gargoyle By J. Chambers The three brothers did exactly what any other boys would have done when they found an old stone gargoyle in the town dump - they took it home with them. After all, it wasn't just any old gargoyle. This one talked and had magical powers, and it breathed flame like a dragon. But the boys couldn't imagine at the time just how much fun the gargoyle could be, or that it would share their dislike of the next-door neighbors.It's a short but fun read about three boys and their exciting summer. The story shows the originality and vivid writing that brought author John Bellairs so many awards.Note: The Kindle Single edition included photocopies of the first two pages of the author's original typewritten manuscript of the story.

You can see Bellairs touches all through the story. No real Bellairs fan should pass it up. My only complaint is that I did not get the page of manuscript that was promised.

While exploring the dump, they hear a voice. By following the voice they discover a gargoyle that can talk and breathe fire! The boys take the gargoyle home and become fast friends. He regales them with stories of his life experiences. Will the gargoyle stay with the boys or go back to the dump again?This is an enjoyable and fun short story to read. If this is your first expose to this author, do read his other stories. You will enjoy them!Disclaimer: I received an arc of this book free from the author/publisher from Netgalley.
