A partir de este sueño empieza a recordar distintos sucesos inexplicables que comenzaron la primera vez que viajó a África.

After this dream he begins to remember different inexplicable events that began the first time he traveled to Africa. This Bellatin story, adapted by Liniers and by the narrator himself, has a nightmarish and disturbing flavor, which makes it a unique gem in the world of comics.
