Details
When we read between the lines we often find many hidden meanings. This sojourn into madness evolves with a boy’s seemingly innocent entry to a diary, and the terrible secrets that begin to fill its sheets.
Can one young teenager hold a more horrific secret than most? Flip through the pages of his journal and scour the materials that accompany it. There is a dark truth to be found. Be careful, though, for without the necessary precautions, an evil may also consume you.
Synopsis
As a young boy embarks on a new phase in his life, he begins to chronicle his experiences in his journal. While exploring a city steeped in history and legend, he stumbles upon a peculiar but enticing metallic amulet and keeps it. Shortly thereafter, terrifying blackouts and violent behaviour begin to engulf him.
Is he losing his mind or has something far more ominous taken hold of him?
The clues are concealed within the lines of his journal and the apparently unrelated documents contained within: a photograph, a missing poster, a postcard from an unknown place, and of course, the strange amulet that started it all.
Audience
The Weeping Book is a story of possession, darkness, and murder. It is not suitable for young audiences or those with a sensitive constitution.

I got The Weeping Book for my brother's birthday and he absolutely loved it. From the hard-to-open crate all the way up to all of the cool stuff he got with the book, he was hooked! I highly recommend giving this as a gift to someone.
I received this package that I subsequently delivered to my son's house at midnight. He works nights, and gets off at 2am...,
I have to admit, I opened the main box and added to the package somewhat! The wife had cut down her rose bushes for the winter, so I took a couple rose branches with dead rosebuds and crossed them over the top of the envelope. For good measure (being just before halloween) I put some corn kernals in the box as well. I then put a "new" fake mailing label from LPS (couldn't use UPS) with no return address.
I also told my son he should be receiveing a box for his birthday, to be careful of it, and open it carefully. REALLY FREAKED HIM OUT! I told him the box was coming so he wouldn't call the police!
He worked on it constantly for about a week and a half. It interested him so much, he put his video games aside (something) he's never done!
Great product, well produced, and very interesting!
The package was so well done that they called the police when it arrived, opening it with kitchen tongs on the front porch, in total fear of touching it with their skin. THAT'S how good it is! ;) Once they got inside and started to work on the mystery, it took about 2 weeks to figure it all out - and it was a very well enjoyed adventure. Thanks for letting me surprise my bestie!
First, dealing with the Mysterious Package Company was a delight. My questions were answered promptly and courteously. The package came much more quickly than had been promised and was worth every penny! Our daughter is away at University in a neighbouring Province. Because of lockdown, we couldn't be with her on her birthday and I was struggling for the perfect Thing. Enter The Weeping Book! It unfolded so, so well. All her mail is delivered to the University, but she has a friend in the mailroom this summer. Said friend knew what the package was as he'd been the recipient of one earlier in the year. So. He DELIVERED THE CRATE TO HER DOOR WITH NO LABEL ON IT!!!! She was sooooooo mystified! Hee. And a little freaked out. So she messages a bunch of her friends and asks them to attend a live "unpackaging" "Just in case it's a bomb or something and I have witnesses!" (she half figured it was from us, we're just that kind of family :-) ). We saw the video of her unpackaging the next day on Instagram. I could not have ASKED for a better experience! The crate WAS uncooperative. The journal was beautiful and mysterious! The other accompanying paraphernalia was amazing. She and her partner are working their way through the book together and enjoying every minute of it. I am delighted and will be purchasing other experiences for people. I could not BE more pleased!
I purchased this as a surprise for my teens. The oldest (19) figured out I tricked them pretty quickly- the youngest (13) we had for a while longer. Everyone in the fam went along with it! It was great watching them read every word and look at every clue and piece together their thoughts. Real-life mystery within their hands!
Well created items, much more fun than a board game, great packaging, super fun gift for anyone who loves a mystery!
