Books like The twenty days of Turin by Giorgio De Maria
Within the spare wing of a church‑run sanatorium in Turin, a group of fervent youths creates a clandestine "Library," where lonely citizens read one another’s personal diaries and engage in "dialogues across the ether." The intimate exchange of confessions quickly turns dark, revealing a malignant force that erodes both privacy and mental stability.
The city goes through a 20‑day "phenomenon of collective psychosis," culminating in inexplicable nightly massacres that few can explain. The Library is shut down and erased from history, but a solitary salaryman, drawn by the mystery, delves into Turin’s occult underbelly. He discovers that what is shared can never be unshared, and that the city’s nightmares are both modern and ancient.
