REVIEW:Blood Wail By Jae Mazer

Every night, sisters Saoirse and Imogen beg their Dadai to read to them from an old storybook, Tales from Ramnon. They’re entranced by the mythical creatures described within its weathered pages. But when tragedy devastates their blissful childhood, the book is closed, and the sisters are forced to cope with a loss darker than they could have ever imagined.

As Saoirse and Imogen grow into adults, they attempt to navigate their lives in County Cork, Ireland. But phantoms from their past have followed them, lurking in the shadows and wailing in the night. In desperation, one sister turns to drugs to quiet the horrors, while the other embarks on a journey to seek answers from the fables and myths of their childhood.   

BLOOD WAIL is a folk horror story about addiction, loss and pain, family and love, and the possibility of creatures beyond our understanding.  

Sometimes the stories are real.

This was a wonderful novel that I was unsure but curious about reading. Very foreign and intriguing start to it. It builds the basis of the story on family and children yearing to have their father tell them folk tales or stories.

All the different stories and creatures that you learn and hear about in these stories he tells are so amazing. These stories make you wonder what is real and what id folk or imaginary. It leaves your curious nature wondering.

This author has a darker side to her storytelling and I absolutley love that. Its so very rare you come across darker not happy perfect ending stories.

I will definitely be looking for more by this author
