    In a rural black community in the deep South, there is a myth of a woman who is the most terrifying female creature ever unleashed in this world. The evil starts when Miss Mary Weather goes insane after giving birth to her deformed child. She commits suicide on her front porch by slashing her wrists under the moonlight. As she journeys to hell, an evil spirit inhabits her soul. Thinking these stories are merely folk tales, the protagonist, Will first encounters the evil woman at the age of nine. A battle between good and evil ensues as he utilizes all of his wits and intelligence through his childhood, young adulthood, college, and finally adulthood. When he battles the immortal Miss Mary Weather in reality and wins, he continues his life. The feeling of her evil spirit being around descends and disappears as the years roll on, until Will''s son has a dream that predicts that Miss Mary Weather has not been destroyed.

A READER'S REVIEW: 
Miss Mary Weather is a work of art, a horror of all times. As a reader of
horror I can give this book a five star rating. My hat comes off to Deon C.
Sanders, the author of this book. He makes horror easy to read and your nights
full of Southern Nightmares. I believe it will be a box office smash when made
in to a movie.         ---submitted by Robert Sanders
