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. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing relationship with a charismatic but volatile woman, Machado struggles to make sense of how what happened to her shaped the person she was becoming.

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 - through which Machado holds the events up to the light and examines them from different angles. She looks back at her religious adolescence, unpacks the stereotype of lesbian relationships as safe and utopian, and widens the view with essayistic explorations of the history and reality of abuse in queer relationships.

Machado's dire narrative is leavened with her characteristic wit, playfulness, and openness to inquiry. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek, and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction. The result is a wrenching, riveting book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

Featured Article: Audible Essentials—The Top 100 LGBTQIA+ Listens of All Time


While LGBTQIA+ creators have been around for millennia, it’s only recently that we’ve been hearing more diverse, more queer-authored, and more queer-performed stories about the entire spectrum of LGBTQIA+ experiences and identities. This list—just like the community it represents—is meant to be fluid. But most importantly, it’s meant to celebrate and reflect on the issues faced by LGBTQIA+ people everywhere.

The writing is tremendously brilliant. It is a powerful elixir of pain and strength. I moved through this book hungrily and am so glad to have done so. I was excited that it was narrated by Carmen herself but ultimately did find her narration a bit flat. Still adore this book though. I used to stare at the physical copy that sat in a place I have come to perceive at my “dream house” and brought it with me when I moved; a reminder and memorial.

A Gift. Truly.

Absolutely amazing memoir written in the most beautiful way. I have learned so much about that time in Carmen’s life while also learning so much about film, writing, history, etc. this book in audio form is incredible.

Absolutely stunning and read beautifully by the author. Highly recommend a listen, but do take care of your mental health and take breaks if you need to, because it’s heavy.

One of the most moving books I’ve read in a long time
