The book is broken up into short chapters with headings that will examine her story through a certain lens. Some of these set the events in a place ("The Dream House as Apartment in Philadelphia"), while some will speak about some piece of media that gives context to an abusive and manipulative relationship and its effects, at least for Machado (this ranges from the movie Gaslight to the folktale "Bluebeard" to an episode of Star Trek). Others think about more common tropes, styles, or themes ("The Dream House as Idioms", "The Dream House as Schrodinger's Cat", "The Dream House as a Plot Twist"). In the prologue, Machado talks about "archival silence," in which stories are erased or destroyed or never spoken about. These many different chapters are a way of telling her story, as well as unearthing many others.
