Today we’re welcoming back Christina Henry, the author of the Madeline Black urban fantasy series from Ace Books, about a Grim Reaper. The series continues this summer with BLACK NIGHT which is available now (read Julia’s review). One of my favorite characters from this series is Maddy’s smart-aleck gargoyle guardian, Bezzel, who was kind enough to drop by and tell us all what it takes to keep him happy. Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win a copy of BLACK NIGHT. See details below.
A GARGOYLE CARE & FEEDING MANUAL
by
Christina Henry’s Beezle
My name is Beezle, and I’m here to instruct you on an extremely vital topic – the correct way to care for your gargoyle.
Gargoyles have incredibly important jobs and their services are often unappreciated by the residents of the homes that they guard. A gargoyle can see the true nature of things. That means if a demon shows up at your door disguised as the electric meter reader I can see through all the layers of reality down to its true essence. Now, don’t you want to know if that handsome guy knocking on your door is really from ComEd or if he’s there to yank your intestines through your nostrils?
I, for one, would prefer to have that information in advance, and given the value of such information I think that the humans (especially a certain Agent of death) that live with gargoyles should provide them with the following:
1) A steady supply of popcorn, preferably freshly popped at 15-minute intervals,
2) As many Boston cream doughnuts as I want without arguing about saturated fat content,
3) The so-called “emergency” chocolate stash should be redefined as “for all occasions” chocolate. Additionally, more quantity and variety in this stash would be welcome. Ghirardelli has many, many flavors of chocolate squares and there is no reason to be stingy.
4) Cinnamon rolls from Ann Sather should magically appear in the kitchen at least twice a week. I do occasionally enjoy surprises so the days of the week can vary as long as my minimum cinnamon roll needs are being met.
5) When we order pizza, we should also order buffalo chicken wings and mozzarella sticks. I don’t see why we have to have a loud discussion about this every time.
6) Please stop buying vegetables. Nothing green will ever pass my lips unless it’s a sour apple Jolly Rancher.
If you have any further questions or suggestions on this topic, please direct them to my human, Madeline Black. She seems to be off in mortal peril at the moment (that happens a lot around here) but I will have her get in touch when she returns. If she returns.
If she doesn’t come back, who would like to adopt an incredibly adorable gargoyle? If you know how to bake, I’m all yours.

One copy of BLACK NIGHT by Christina Henry
Description:
Madeline Black is an Agent of death, meaning she escorts the souls of people who have died to the afterlife. Of course, not everyone is happy to see her...
If obstinate dead people were all that Maddy had to worry about, life would be much easier. But the best-laid plans of Agents and fallen angels often go awry. Deaths are occurring contrary to the natural order, Maddy's being stalked by foes inside and outside of her family, and her two loves-her bodyguard, Gabriel, and her doughnut-loving gargoyle, Beezle-have disappeared. But because Maddy is Lucifer's granddaughter, things are expected of her, things like delicate diplomatic missions to other realms.
