I can't read Italian, and so far, I've only had a chance to translate 3 Dino Battaglia stories into English for my blog. And who knows when (OR IF) I'll ever get around to these (one's in the early 2000s, the other in the 2010s), but I got these because they were obvisously paying some kind of tribute to Poe's "
A Descent Into The Maelstrom".
This one's from Brazil!
