Ok, first of all this is the most misleading title someone could up with *cough* nightmare on elm street *cough* and second there was hardly ever a nightmare mentioned. The memoir is about how a "monster" became the writer's step-father but bonds with him so well that the writer refers to him as her real father. But nowhere in the text does the writer explain the "nightmare". It may be hard to come across but it is actually when she was at a very young age when she began to imagine the worst case scenarios (well, all worst case scenarios a little kid can imagine) of what happened to her mother.
Other than that it was well written.
