Weep, Woman, Weep: A Gothic Fairytale about Ancestral Hauntings by Maria DeBlassie – Review by Shea Gilkerson

Weep, Woman, Weep by Maria DeBlassie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoy the authors prose and the idea behind the story. The idea is enjoyable, the message of not holding on to your fears and traumas to not live a life of misery is outstanding. The way the author presents is very nice, but the book is far too short to really get to the meat of it. So many wonderful characters presented, but not explored. I think sussing this out and getting deeper would make it even more than 5 stars. Mercy draws you in, and you cheer her on. The fears of becoming, basically, a miserable old crone and constantly wondering if the choices you’re making are the correct ones are real. I’ve read her Practically Pagan book and really enjoyed it, just feel a bit like we didn’t get in depth enough to really make it spectacular. I did enjoy what there was, I just had so many questions you never get answered. The 120 pages are worth a read!
