The Maker of Gargoyles

"The Maker of Gargoyles" is a short story by Clark Ashton Smith, one of his stories set in Averoigne, a fictionalized province of France. It first published in the August 1932 issue of Weird Tales.
The story centers on Blaise Reynard, a master stonecarver of Vyones, who carves two gargoyles so lifelike that they begin attacking residents. The story has been credited with introducing the idea of gargoyles as monsters rather than mere architectural decoration.
