About this listen

* AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER * INDIE BESTSELLER * JUNIOR LIBRARY GUILD SELECTION * KIDS' INDIE NEXT LIST PICK * NPR BEST PICK * KIRKUS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR *

New York Times bestselling author Tiffany D. Jackson ramps up the horror and tackles America’s history and legacy of racism in this suspenseful YA novel following a biracial teenager as her Georgia high school hosts its first integrated prom.

When Springville residents—at least the ones still alive—are questioned about what happened on prom night, they all have the same explanation . . . Maddy did it.

An outcast at her small-town Georgia high school, Madison Washington has always been a teasing target for bullies. And she's dealt with it because she has more pressing problems to manage. Until the morning a surprise rainstorm reveals her most closely kept secret: Maddy is biracial. She has been passing for white her entire life at the behest of her fanatical white father, Thomas Washington.

After a viral bullying video pulls back the curtain on Springville High's racist roots, student leaders come up with a plan to change their image: host the school's first integrated prom as a show of unity. The popular white class president convinces her Black superstar quarterback boyfriend to ask Maddy to be his date, leaving Maddy wondering if it's possible to have a normal life.

But some of her classmates aren't done with her just yet. And what they don't know is that Maddy still has another secret . . . one that will cost them all their lives.

One of My 2022 Favorite Listens

With timely social commentary woven into the story, this modern day retelling of Stephen King's Carrie shows us that horror can take many forms. The phenomenal narration worked well with multiple POVs, podcast, and other elements that were used to tell the story and provided all of necessary drama and suspense.

I've definitely added The Weight of Blood to my top listens list for 2022!

Wonderful homage to Stephen King’s “Carrie.”

Carrie is a favorite of mine, and I was curious about this. Voice performances were great, and I really enjoyed the character development in the story.

Very creative reimagining!

I loved the twist on this classic story. The voice actors were great and the added sound effects made the whole thing feel like a movie. My only criticism is the story not including what happened to two of the characters that seemingly vanished. I would’ve loved to know the details of their ending, if it was happy or not.

I loved the ending and the chills you could get leading up!

One of my favorite reads with a unique twist and it made me want to cry. The story is one that you dive head first and swim out changed. Over all it was awesome

So, so, so good!!

The story and the audio were perfect! I really hope there is a second book!! You left me with a cliff hanger. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to escape and see things from a different perspective.

Original retelling of Carrie

This was an incredible retelling. It was still original even being a retelling and the feels it made me feel were wild. I cannot wait to read more things by her. The cast of voice actors really lent depth to the story I would highly recommend.
