The Colour Out of Space by H.P. Lovecraft, narrated by Shawn Rigby, is a chilling tale of cosmic horror that explores the incomprehensible and terrifying forces beyond human understanding.

This unearthly phenomenon begins to warp the land and the people who live there, slowly consuming everything in its path with an inexplicable, malevolent force.

"Il diamante grande come il Ritz", tratto dalla raccolta ''Racconti dell'età del jazz'', è un racconto dall'atmosfera surreale che riassume benissimo lo stile e la bravura di Fitzgerald. Potrebbe essere definito una fiaba degli anni Venti, periodo in cui il lusso era l'illusione e la mira di tanti. John T. Unger, un giovane studente della ricca borghesia del sud, si ritrova a trascorrere le vacanze estive nella residenza di famiglia di Percy Washington, nuovo e affascinante compagno di liceo.

Scelta non casuale questi quattro racconti tratti dalla silloge Il mare color del vino, scrigno dei temi e delle forme più care allo scrittore di Racalmuto.
