Three Dark Crowns"A compulsively readable jewel of the genre,
All The Dead Lie Down, will seize you with an eeriness that refuses to relent. An instant classic, worthy of collection with the best of them." -
K. Ancrum, author of The Wicker King and Darling"McCauley's writing is as gorgeous as her story is gruesome, filled with a creeping dread that gets into your bones and holds you in thrall.
All the Dead Lie Down is the best sapphic horror I've read in years." -
Erica Waters, author of The River Has Teeth and The Restless Dark"This has it all: a slow burn sapphic love story, an agonizingly delicious build of tension, creepy children, reveals that made me gasp out loud. A gothic love story meets gothic horror story, with expert pacing, dark family secrets, and a twisted reveal I didn't see coming." -
Katrina Leno, author of Horrid and You Must Not Miss Praise for We Can Be Heroes: "Powerful and unflinching,
We Can Be Heroes is as fierce as the girls it portrays--and as unforgettable." -
Marieke Nijkamp, New York Times bestselling author of This Is Where It Ends"McCauley has penned a lyrically gorgeous and hauntingly beautiful story about love, loss, and the power of standing together to deliver justice." -
Kim Johnson, author of This is My America"
We Can Be Heroes is a vivid, striking novel about all-too-common violence in America, and the ways it shapes lives in a small town. Vivian, Beck, and Cassie's grief, rage, tenacity and vengeance give us the strength to fight back against the gun violence and violence against women that we as society have come to see as unstoppable and inevitable. May this book be an awakening for many, and a call to action for all of us." -
