Each crawling terror urged on into our world by their most basic of needs: to feed, consume, and feast as their eternal hunger grows. How can our characters dare to face--nevermind overcome--these ancient devourers?

Le "Storie naturali" di Primo Levi uscirono nel 1966 con lo pseudonimo di Damiano Malabaila. Fu la casa editrice a suggerire all'autore una qualche presa di distanza da questi racconti fantascientifici apparentemente così lontani dai due libri di Levi pubblicati in precedenza: "Se questo è un uomo" e "La tregua". Oggi che finalmente sappiamo distinguere il testimone dallo scrittore, i racconti delle "Storie naturali", come già quelli del "Sistema periodico", sono destinati a crescere nella considerazione dei critici e dei lettori.
