Truly bizarre. It's presented as though the main character is a reliable narrator who is explaining his stream of consciousness which is a descent into madness as if it were a perfectly logical series of events.

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.
