The Twenty Days of Turin by Giorgio De Maria

3.0

So so creepy!

This book, which is very short by the way, is written in a very "Gogolian" style. I could say it's a mix of Russian old school meets Lovecraft.

The story itself is not as complete as you might expect, but the writing style compensates this.

It is a weird story, in the sense that not much is explained and you have to take a strong leap of faith AND imaginationwith the author to truly summerge yourself to his prose.

I found it refreshing and different from all that I've read lately. I don't give it more than three stars because I think the characters couldve been a bit more developed, and the story be more coherent regarding it's grammatical structure, what I mean is that maybe the translation wasnt clear enough to know when the "description of the dream" stopped and whem normal scenario started.

Worth your 2 hours? Solid yes i f you're into the genre.
