3 quotes from In the Dream House

• "I am both the house and the dream. I contain multitudes: an expanse of rooms full of memories, an echo of laughter and pain woven together."
• "It’s hard to have a ‘true’ story when every detail blurs between the dream and the nightmarish reality of love and violence."
• "In the confines of these walls, love transformed into fear, and the house became a maze of haunting shadows that linger long after the lights went out."
