The Well of the Worlds by Henry Kuttner (Italian edition)

The novel “The Well of the Worlds” by Henry Kuttner was published for the first time in 1952 in the magazine “Startling Stories” and in 1953 as a book.

Clifford Sawyer is investigating a uranium mine where he has to deal with its owners: Klai Ford, a strange girl who long ago had been found in the same mine with no memory, and William Alper, a power-hungry man. Strange ghost stories are told about the mine but Sawyer doesn’t believe them, at least not until weird things start happening.
