Gargoyles — Ben Hecht

If cinematic stories with well-drawn characters are your preference when it comes to fiction, check out Gargoyles by Ben Hecht, who was one of the foremost screenwriters during Hollywood's Golden Age. Hecht wrote or co-wrote the scripts for a number of classic films, including Some Like It Hot, Gone with the Wind, Gunga Din, and Wuthering Heights, and even collaborated on Marilyn Monroe's autobiography My Story as a ghostwriter.
