The Demonata

Notes:

And, at the fourth time of asking, I was FINALLY satisfied! The artist adjusted the claws and I now felt it worked as a piece. It's still probably my least favourite of the new covers to date, but it's normal for a long series like this to have one or two covers that you don't love -- and I'm sure there will be fans out there who will rate this far higher than I do. But I'm very fortunate that my publishers work so closely with me on the covers and take notice of my requests. They're not obliged to, and many publishers do whatever they want with covers, and if the writers don't like them, tough luck! But HarperCollins treat me very sweetly indeed, even when I'm being a little primadonna, as I was in this instance!!!! :-)
