In The Dream House - Carmen Maria Machado
"There are little more formative texts than queer writers finding their voices in a vastly under-explored genre. Carmen Maria Machado does this in the most stunning way. Chronicling the dynamics of an abusive lesbian relationship in a gothic fairytale format, Machado shows just how little context there is for her experience in the world of literature, and in doing so, provides a bible for queer folks everywhere on desire, power, love and queerness."
