All the Dead Lie Down
by Kyrie McCauley
I wish that the comparisons to other media were kept to marketing meetings and not shared with the public, because I think it actually does this book a disservice to compare it to Bly Manor. They have similar themes, and it was obviously inspired by Bly, but it doesn't have the same weight or depth; which is fine! It's a YA book, not an adult horror miniseries. But it set my expectations too high and it took me a little while to shake it. The broad strokes of mysterious manor + grief themes + lesbians does not Bly Manor make.
THAT SAID, I did enjoy this book. There were some nitpicky things that, as a writer, I wish the editor had caught and tidied, but overall I had a good time. Spooky, funny, mysterious. And gay! We love to see it. I WOULD watch a miniseries based on this. The overall concept was refreshingly unique and really interesting to read.
