Classic small town horror - as if Stephen King had written about Rostov in 1993; but Podshibyakin knows Rostov better. Andrei Podshibyakin is a graduate of Rostov State University and VGIK, a legendary columnist for all the important glossies of the "noughties" from Afisha and Esquire to Game.EXE and OM, the author of Afisha's guide to California, the books "Game Time!" and "Igrojur"; he lives in Los Angeles. Screen rights to his new novel, The Last Day of Summer, were acquired before the book was released; a TV series is planned. Tanais, Don Delta. Ancient land, filled many fathoms deep with the blood of Cimmerians, Greeks, Sarmatians, Genoese, Scythians, Romans, Ottomans... It keeps the one who sleeps under the mounds. Rostov-on-Don, 1993. A quiet southern city, lace curtains on the windows and houses drowning in greenery, simple morals, "where people visit without asking, where there is no envy and anger". Even Mongol feared him. The cruel nomads fled from him in terror. After him, like after the plague, cities were wiped to dust. He is able to enter people's minds and make the funniest jokes. He sleeps under the mounds. Four eighth-graders, who do not yet know that they will soon become friends, lead the usual life for teenagers of the early nineties: study, fight, fall in love, learn karate from movies from video salons, hunt for jeans-warenki or foreign fiction ... Their accidentally spilled blood will wake up the one who sleeps under the mounds.
