![]() ![]() It is also just a dang good horror! There are grisly parts that make you want to keep turning the pages and you are drawn in to Maddy’s character. It isn’t necessarily an original story (being that it is a retelling), but the references to race and police brutality are incredible. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this novel. I also enjoyed the writing style where it would break away from the telling of Maddy’s story and show pieces of interviews from different witnesses of Maddy’s destruction. The whole scene where Kenny is trying to get the police officers involved and how they react….it was beautifully written and heartbreaking. ![]() I was interested to see how Jackson tied in dumping a bucket of something on Maddy’s head, and I was not disappointed to find out what it was and what it symbolized. I really enjoyed the modern take on how race is still an issue in our communities and schools. Jackson, published by HarperCollins (September 6, 2022) is available in hardcover. I have not read Carrie, but I have seen the movies, so I had that as a base to go off of when I was reading ‘The Weight of Blood’. This book title, The Weight of Blood, ISBN: 9780063029149, by Tiffany D. Tiffany Jackson’s newest novel, The Weight of Blood, is a retelling of the King novel, Carrie. ![]()
