All The Dead Lie Down

Product Information

In the summer after graduation, Autumn and Finny reconnect and are finally ready to be more than friends. Two women from opposite ends of the social spectrum---one a professional journalist, the other a homeless alcoholic---join forces through a fateful series of events to foil a murder plot. Overall, I had a good time with it, and it was a very quick read, a testament to its quality and my general enjoyment of the book.

There are a lot of similarities and parallels between the two, from the setting to the characters to the family dynamics to the super sweet and loving sapphic relationship at the core of the story.

It’s only when Evie, Alice’s beautiful teen daughter, comes home from school that Marin slowly finds the answers she is looking for and starts to fall in love—just as events spiral out of control. Macabre yet somehow cozy, All the Dead Lie Down is perfect for readers who enjoy charmingly disturbing children and grand old houses full of secrets. A compulsively readable jewel of the genre, All The Dead Lie Down, will seize you with an eeriness that refuses to relent. I say this is a good book for beginners to horror and those who like a bit of lightness mixed in, because this is not a book that ramps up the tension consistently or takes itself completely seriously. A deep dive to illustrate the quiet strength of those in the darkest situations, If These Wings Could Fly is atmospheric, brilliantly drawn, and ultimately hopeful.

Tl;dr: The Haunting of Bly Manor (2020), Pushing Daisies (2007), Frozen (2013), Crimson Peak (2015), Frozen 2 (2019), and Casper (1995) did all of this better. This amount includes seller specified domestic postage charges as well as applicable international postage, dispatch, and other fees.I found that it was very relevant to today’s social struggles in Texas despite being published in 1998 and set in the 70’s. All the Dead Lie Down” drives us to a haunted house, or at least that’s what the locals believe, as Marin takes a summer job as a nanny for the two young daughters of her favorite author and former friend of her late mother. She lives near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, with her family, three rescue cats, and a dog that eats books and is never sorry.

Pitched as The Haunting of Bly Manor meets House of Salt and Shadows, All the Dead Lie Down is a title with a romantic gothic plot line that immediately grabbed my attention when I noticed it on NetGalley. This book has several amazing messages about dealing with grief, forgiveness, and even social issues. I think this is a perfect book for those who want to dip their toes into horror, and for those who like a healthy balance between a dark aesthetic and moments of hope and levity.

I come from a family that loves to tell stories—anecdotes and memories that grow wilder with every re-telling. The Plague has left a population divided between Elites and Ordinaries—those who have powers and those who don’t; now, an Ordinary teen fights for her life. The way they acted made me completely forget that they were only 17 and also that the story was set in the modern day. A careful, sharp exploration of rage, love, and what it means to balance on the knife edge between them.

The finale in the flooded basement and underground crypt (I do love a spooky crypt – happy sigh), is excitingly written, powerfully dramatic, and very creepy. Special thanks to NetGalley and Harper Collins Children’s Books/ Katherine Tegen Books for sharing this amazing digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest thoughts. I loved the atmosphere of the creepy house, I loved the found family aspect, and I even appreciated/enjoyed the romantic aspects of the book, however rushed they were.It was a creepy concept and there was some gore, but I didn't feel it deeply if you know what I mean. There are titles for teens that address the realities of dating violence, but it's more difficult to find stories of family violence; in her debut, McCauley traverses the tender ground with grace.
