Plot summary

Reception

Dave Langford reviewed Gabriel for White Dwarf #98, and stated that "Tuttle concentrates on small fears, things which (as opposed to the likelihood of putrescent zombies crawling from the toilet) do actually worry people: fear of embarrassment, of losing control, of doing something shamefully out of character."[1]
