Literary Fiction
by Robert Marasco
The Rolfe family's summer rental seems impossibly cheap—a mansion for $900, with only one requirement: care for an elderly woman in an upstairs room they must never enter. As the house begins to revitalize itself, the family withers in its shadow. Marasco's classic explores parasitic architecture and the terrible bargains we make for comfort.
