Gathering of the Gargoyles 2009 - Los Angeles, California

The Gathering of the Gargoyles continues its tradition with a fifth annual anthology of original fan work!

History and mystery, Illuminati hideout, place of power, deathtrap, mind-game ... any or all of these and more ... this is a building with many, many doors. Open one and see what's inside. Reserve a room, or a suite. Check in. Get comfy. You'll be staying a while. The anthology theme for 2009 is the Hotel Cabal, from the episode "Revelations."

The Hotel Cabal Anthology will be accepting submissions of stories and artwork to appear in a limited-edition paperback book to debut at the 13th Annual Gathering of the Gargoyles, in Los Angeles, California.

Update: We regret to announce that this year's anthology will not be produced in printed book form due to a shortage of submissions. Instead, it will be released in PDF format. Those who have pre-ordered the book will receive a full refund no later than May 30, 2009. The Anthology in PDF format will be made available for download on this web site shortly before the convention.
