Carmen Joy Imes seeks to recover the theologically rich message of the creation narratives starting in the book of Genesis as they illuminate what it means to be human.

In this electric and provocative debut, Machado bends genre to shape startling narratives that map the realities of women's lives and the violence visited upon their bodies.

In the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad, and a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse.

And it's that struggle that gives the book its original structure: each chapter is driven by its own narrative trope - the haunted house, erotica, the bildungsroman....

I don’t know what I was thinking when I agreed to rent a room at the ‘brohouse’. Not only were the living conditions a nightmare, but my three new RoomHates made every day unbearable. That is, until the unthinkable happened. Slowly I saw Seth, Lucas, and Hunter as more than just the jock bro personas they put on. They were sexy, passionate and – dare I say it – caring at times. As our dynamic shifted, I found myself drawn into intimate moments with not just one of the bros, but all three. As much as I want this unconventional relationship to work, I have to ask myself if I can ...

Have you ever wondered what the Old Testament - especially the Old Testament law - has to do with your Christian life? You are not alone. Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees. In this warm, accessible volume, Imes takes listeners back to Sinai, the ancient mountain where Israel met their God, and explains the meaning of events there. She argues that we've misunderstood the command about "taking the Lord's name in vain." Instead, Imes says that this command is about "bearing God's name."
