📝 Description: Giochi Pericolosi: Da ragazzi facevamo sedute spiritiche. A volte ci rispondevano.

Bartolo Ansaldi presents a brief novel rooted in his personal history with paranormal investigation. The narrative draws directly from journal entries he kept during his high school years while participating in seance sessions with friends. Ansaldi served as the medium, attempting to communicate with spirits who occasionally responded. Fifteen years later, he revisited these notes and recognized disturbing patterns that were invisible to him at the time. The text is organized around these recovered memories, detailing specific supernatural encounters that left a lasting psychological impact. The book appeals to readers interested in firsthand accounts of occult practices and the long-term effects of such experiences. It suits those who prefer grounded, autobiographical horror over fantastical world-building. Readers seeking complex plot structures or extensive character development may find the focus on raw, unvarnished memory less engaging. Ansaldi qualifies as a writer by sharing his direct involvement in these events rather than offering academic analysis. The work remains strictly within the bounds of his own recollections and observations. This short novel captures the eerie atmosphere of amateur spiritism without romanticizing it. Ansaldi’s choice to publish these notes highlights the danger inherent in such activities. The narrative does not offer comfort or resolution but instead presents a stark record of what transpired. It stands as a cautionary tale derived from real-life experimentation with the unknown.
