"They are evil spirits, says the old man. Shadows that wander through the forest, tearing at the air with their claws and teeth. Some are men, sorcerers who take on different shapes so they can kill us and feed on our hearts..."

Luis Devin, The Forest Has You
(La foresta ti ha - Castelvecchi/LIT Edizioni)
