To be clear: I am not interested in "love" stalking books like You or The Collector where some creep is stalking a girl. I'm seeking things like Secret Window, Secret Garden where the MC is being stalked and harassed because the stalker feels like his story was stolen, or The Executioners (cape fear) where the lawyer is being stalked by someone who wants revenge for putting him in prison.
To further clarify, I realize that the stalker is not a real person in the end of SWSG, but what I mean by using these two as examples is a story where someone is out for revenge and they stalk, kill pets, try to intimidate whoever they are trying to get revenge on. Like an absolutely unhinged psychopath who is taking cold and calculated revenge, but not because he has a love interest in the person he is stalking. However, also stalking a wife/daughter is ok too as long as it's in the name of revenge which is the case in cape fear.
