I think that The Tunnel was one of the most terrifying books I have ever read for two reasons. One, it made me question my own sanity (not in a remotely enjoyable way) and overthink every little thing for a couple of days, and two, it was less than 150 pages and still took me over two months to get through.

the man was a walking red flag but that's the point, right?

"...y en todo caso había un solo túnel, oscuro y solitario: el mío, el túnel en que había transcurrido mi infancia, mi juventud, toda mi vida."

Read for school.
