challenging dark emotional mysterious tense slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character
• Loveable characters? No

2.75

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.
