'Ravishingly beautiful' Observer'Excruciatingly honest and yet vibrantly creative' Irish Times'Provocative and rich' Economist'Daring, chilling, and unlike anything else you've ever read' Esquire'An absolute must-read' StylistWINNER OF THE RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE 2021 'A masterpiece. Proceed with caution' Phoebe BridgersIn the Dream House is Carmen Maria Machado's engrossing and wildly innovative account of a relationship gone bad. Tracing the full arc of a harrowing experience with a charismatic but volatile woman, this is a bold dissection of the mechanisms and cultural representations of psychological abuse.Each chapter views the relationship through a different lens, as Machado holds events up to the light and examines them from distinct angles. She casts a critical eye over legal proceedings, fairy tales, Star Trek and Disney villains, as well as iconic works of film and fiction, infusing all with her characteristic wit, playfulness and openness to enquiry. The result is a powerful book that explodes our ideas about what a memoir can do and be.

“To this hour the image of Carmilla returns to my memory with ambiguous alternations—sometimes the playful, languid, beautiful girl; sometimes the writhing fiend I saw in the ruined church. Sometimes, I start from a reverie, certain I heard the light step of Carmilla at the drawing-room door.”Isolated in a remote mansion in a central European forest, Laura longs for companionship—until a carriage accident brings another young woman into her life: the secretive and sometimes erratic Carmilla. As Carmilla’s actions become more puzzling and volatile, Laura develops bizarre symptoms, and as her health goes into decline, Laura and her father discover something monstrous.Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu’s compelling tale of a young woman’s seduction by a female vampire was a source of influence for Bram Stoker’s Dracula, which it predates by over a quarter century. Carmilla was originally serialized from 1871 to 1872 and went on to inspire adaptations in film, opera, and beyond, including the cult classic web series by the same name.

Literatur als Brennglas weiblicher Lebensrealitäten: Carmen Maria Machado kehrt nach außen, welches Leid Frauen und ihren Körpern beigebracht wird. Sie erschafft Welten von hypnotischer Kraft, dunkel und strahlend zugleich. Dieser elektrisierende Erzählungsband kündet von einer literarischen Revolution.Ein grünes Band, das zum Auslöser eines Übergriffs wird. Ein Ballkleid, das mit der Haut seiner Trägerin vernäht wird. Ein weiblicher Körper, der von Tag zu Tag durchsichtiger wird. Carmen Maria Machado erzählt von Frauen, deren Existenzen von Männern gewaltsam überschrieben werden und fragt: Wie können Frauen in einer Welt überleben, die sie – ob durch Ehe, Mutterschaft, Tod oder Ballkleider – zum Verschwinden bringen will? Dabei reißt Machado unbekümmert alle Barrieren ein, die je zwischen psychologischem Realismus und Science Fiction, Komik und Horror, Fantasy und Fabeln bestanden haben. Aus der permanenten inhaltlichen wie stilistischen Grenzüberschreitung gehen Texte von verblüffender Originalität hervor, die die Lebensrealitäten von Frauen und die ihnen innenwohnende Sprengkraft mit großer literarischer Wucht kartografieren.Ein ausgezeichnetes Buch!National Book Award (Shortlist)+++Bard Fiction Prize (gewonnen)+++National Book Critics Circle''s John Leonard Prize (gewonnen)+++Crawford Award (gewonnen)+++Shirley Jackson Award (gewonnen)+++Lambda Literary Award for Lesbian Fiction (gewonnen)+++American Booksellers Association''s Indies Choice Book Awards (gewonnen)+++New Atlantic Independent Booksellers Association''s Book of the Year (gewonnen)+++Bisexual Book Award for Fiction (gewonnen)+++Richard Yates Short Story Prize (gewonnen)+++Best of Philly: Writer on the Rise (gewonnen)+++LA Times Book Prize Art Seidenbaum Award for First Fiction (Shortlist)+++PEN/ Robert W.

»Willkommen im Haus von Machado. Treten Sie ein in den verbotenen Raum. Genießen Sie den Augenblick, wenn der Boden unter Ihren Füßen wegbricht.« Parul Sehgal, The New York TimesDas Archiv der Träume ist Carmen Maria Machados ganz persönliche Geschichte und literarische Auseinandersetzung mit toxischen Beziehungen. Aber auch eine Geschichte des Heranwachsens und des sexuellen Erwachens im ländlichen Amerika.Endlich scheint in den USA etwas in Bewegung zu geraten: Die gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe rückt in greifbare Nähe und Carmen Maria Machado stürzt sich in ihre erste große Beziehung zu einer Frau, die sich sehr bald als toxisch herausstellt. Kann man darüber schreiben, was wirklich passiert ist, und wenn ja, wie? Machado hat ihre Form gefunden. Mit jedem Kapitel durchschreitet sie ein anderes literarisches Topos: Gespensterhaus, Erotika, Bildungsroman. So entsteht ein Kaleidoskop, das sich genauso mit ihrer religiös geprägten Jugend wie den Stereotypen queerer Beziehungen oder popkulturellen Bezügen auseinandersetzt. Machado gelingt es, sich auf einzigartige Weise, voll Witz, Spielfreude und Lust am Ausprobieren, der harschen Realität von Gewalt in einer queeren Beziehung zu stellen. Am Ende steht ein fesselndes Buch, das die Grenzen autofiktionalen Erzählens sprengt und einmal mehr beweist, dass Machado eine der talentiertesten jungen literarischen Stimmen der USA ist.
