All the Dead Lie Down is everything you could ever want in a modern gothic. Centered around a mysterious family whose matriarch is a famous horror author and whose past is intimately tangled with a past our heroine knows nothing about, it takes its time revealing its elements without being too heavy a read for anyone who wants a quick and satisfying story about loss, death, secrets, and a saphic love story that hits all the right notes.I thoroughly enjoyed all of it and was very happy the whole way through!
