Letom Nʹi͡u-Ĭork prosto nevynosim! Zhara, pylʹ, shum… Mėrian mechtaet provesti leto za gorodom vmeste s muzhem i synom. Na glaza popadaetsi͡a obʺi͡avlenie v gazete: "Unikalʹnyĭ dom. . .

New York is simply unbearable in summer! The heat, the dust, the noise... Marian dreams of spending the summer in the country with her husband and son. An advertisement in the newspaper catches my eye: "A unique house . . . Calm, secluded. Ideal for a large family. Swimming pool, private beach, pier. . . A very reasonable price for the right people..." Incredible luck! Such a house can be a real salvation. And it doesn't matter that his owners, a brother and sister, a strange couple, behave very strangely. It doesn't matter that the rental price is suspiciously low, and the conditions include taking care of an elderly mom locked on the top floor. None of this matters, because Marian has finally found her dream home and is ready to do anything to stay here.…For the first time in Russian, the cult horror novel that inspired Stephen King to create the novel "The Shining" and served as the basis for the famous 1976 film (directed by Dan Curtis, starring Karen Black and Oliver Reed).
