The Twenty Days of Turin by Giorgio De Maria The Twenty Days of Turin book. ![]() unlike any earlier weird-ideology tale I’ve read, The Twenty Days of Turin has a viciousness and caprice to its horror that feels very current. The Twenty Days of Turin turns the state of tension that neofascist terror attempted to create into a metaphysical condition, a supernatural threat summoning forces no one can control. The Twenty Days of Turin is an unholy masterwork of the macabre, more than just a beautifully terrifying ghost story. De Maria foresaw the way the internet - especially the portion of it defined by the pathologies of isolation - makes its users into consumers and creators simultaneously, fostering a paradoxical community of isolates mirroring their solipsisms at each other. This is a book written in 1975 and featuring no technology more advanced than high-end analog audio recordings, yet it grasps the implications of social media in ways cyberpunk never did. ![]() uncanny both in terms of its subject matter and in the way it prefigures the emotional reality of our own period. ![]()
