Amazon.com The shattering memoir In the Dream House from Carmen Maria Machado (Her Body and Other Parties) pivots around the small house in Bloomington, Indiana, that Machado’s girlfriend moves into shortly after they meet. This cozy domestic abode soon turns into a harrowing locus of emotional abuse. Short chapter after short chapter initially seem like pieces from five different puzzles as Machado describes the lead up to the relationship, the months of attacks, and the roller-coaster aftermath. But the ultimate picture Machado builds is brave and bold. Machado’s raw language and vulnerability unveils the deep confusion and pain from abuse that falls outside traditional expectations. At the same time, Machado puts her own strengths on display as she refuses to adhere to a memoir’s customary (and comfortable) structure. This isn’t a book for everyone. The cover design alone might give the prospective reader a hint as to the style of the journey ahead. But those who read In the Dream House will likely never forget it. —Adrian Liang, Amazon Book Review“Merge the house and the woman―watch the woman experience her own body as a haunted house, a place of sudden, inexplicable terrors―and you are reading the blazingly talented Carmen Maria Machado.”―Parul Sehgal, The New York Times “Breathtakingly inventive. . . . Machado’s writing, with its heat and precise command of tone, has always had a sentient quality. But what makes In the Dream House a particularly self-aware structure―which is to say, a true haunted house―is the intimation that it is critiquing itself in real time. . . .

The result is a gorgeously kaleidoscopic feat ― not just of literature but of pure, uncut humanity.”―Entertainment Weekly “In the Dream House is the kind of book that burrows under the reader's skin while simultaneously forcing her to inhabit the body of the writer.”―NPR.org“Piercing. . . . In the Dream House makes for uneasy but powerful reading.”―Mark Athitakis, USA Today “Machado rejects standard memoir conventions in favor of short discursive chapters. . . . The result is a thoroughly engrossing, sometimes enraging must-read.”―BuzzFeed “A stunning book, both deeply felt and elegantly written.”―Julia M. Klein, The Boston Globe “Celebrated for her inventive wri
