Thank you to Blood Bound Books for providing a review copy. 

Well. Consider my puny mind blown. The Claw of Craving is extremely Clive Barker-esque, and I mean that as the highest compliment. The world-building has the same sense of sensuality, but also whimsy. The characters are complex and multi-layered. If you like your fantasy black as pitch, you'll love this book as much as I did. Strong 5 stars.
