The Gathering of the Gargoyles is proud to present, once again, an anthology of all-new and original fan work! Of course, there's no better way to follow 2004's Phoenix Gate Anthology and 2005's Eye of Odin Anthology than by completing the trilogy with the third infamous artifact in the set… the Grimorum Arcanorum!

For over a thousand years, this ancient tome has made its way into the hands of one villain after another and caused untold mischief with its magic. But where did it come from? Who else has thumbed its fragile pages over the centuries? What spells and secret lore are contained within its leather binding?

The time has come to answer some of those questions. And you can help! The Grimorum Arcanorum Anthology is accepting submissions of stories and artwork to appear in a limited-edition paperback book that will debut at the Tenth Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles in Los Angeles, California.
