Ben’s Gargoyle

"Ben's Gargoyle packs one heck of a punch. Keith Gray's story – complemented wonderfully by Keith Robinson's illustrations – explores themes of family, friendship and courage, and builds swiftly to a finale that's as astonishing as it is moving." — Darren Simpson
"Gray and Robinson are the dream team; with their unflinching yet sensitive portrayal of Ben’s life. Tense, original and ultimately hopeful, Ben’s Gargoyle is a complex idea told with skill; a deceptively simple reflection of toxic masculinity and finding the inner strength to fight it." — Lesley Parr
"Keith Gray pulls no punches in this gloriously dark tale of upheaval, fear and danger. Ben's struggles are carved from granite in tense and weighty lines, tapping into the bedrock of what masculinity means. A fine gothic fable about how to face the monsters that lurk both inside and out." — Luke Palmer
"This is a great gothic tale of psychological horror … And you'll be punching the air as Ben manages to find his inner strength … A wonderfully gothic tale with a great theme – I loved it!" — Alastair Chisholm
"A moving story about family breakdown, hardship, resilience, and finding the strength to overcome adversity. Written and illustrated in a striking modern Gothic style, it uses powerful symbolism to explore one boy’s struggle to reclaim his confidence and hope … Ben’s Gargoyle would be a fantastic complementary text for Gargoyles: Guardians of the Source by Tamsin Mori or The Wrong Shoes by Tom Percival." — Scope for Imagination, blog
