Grau per poi tornare sui classici con John Meade Falkner e Heinrich Clauren. Sul fronte italiano, saranno presenti i racconti dei vincitori dell’ultimo Premio Hypnos, Materiali per una guida della Val Lemuria, di Cristiano Demicheli, e La colonia, di Giulia Massini, e un testo di Massimo Soumaré, Storia di lune, gatti e astronomi.
