LIE DOWN IN DARKNESS takes place in the American south. The Loftis family lives in Port Warwick, and most of the action takes place in the small, bustling town. Another prominent location is New York City, where Peyton lives with her husband Harry Miller. Port Warwick and New York City represent contrasting states of being for Peyton.
