Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Kerry Carr

Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow I’m not sure where to start with this story.  It is classed as a gothic fairytale but it feels so much more than that. It had an element of a fairytale with the story of the Weeping Woman and how she impacts the women that encounter her. There’s also a fairytale feel about the effect the Weeping Woman has on our main character Mercy. However I feel the story goes much deeper than that.

I feel this book has a story about depression and how if we allow ourselves to get dragged down to the depths it can take our life from us. However if we leave to fight back and live with happiness we can overcome it.

I really enjoyed this story. It was very moving and emotion and the little horror element keeps you hooked on your seat wondering if the Weeping Woman ends up getting Mercy or if she can defeat her.
