It's not often you come upon a fantasy book that reinvents the creatures inhabiting it. But that's exactly what The Gutter Prayer does, and does very successfully. From the Tallowmen to the giant Elder Ghouls, we are treated to a panoply of creatures, and two types of gods into the bargain. 
   The characters, both human and non-human, are very well drawn. The descriptions of the ancient city in which all the action takes place are convincing. The action and the overall plot are satisfying, too.
   I did find a handful of typos, which you can see by clicking on the errata tab of my professional editorial site (just to the right of this post) if you've a mind too. But that's minor stuff. I heartily recommend The Gutter Prayer and I'm looking forward to its sequel.
