Hi, I’m looking for any novels, short stories, or even fanfics that have obsessive characters — someone who’s really fixated on another person or thing. Could be love, friendship, or something else. I like when the story shows their obsession in a deep or interesting way. Any genre is fine!

A classic, ‘The Perfune’ by Süsskind. The main character is fixated on smells; he kills to extract the smell out of people. Not sure if that’s your genre.
Enduring Love by Ian McEwan – about someone who becomes delusional and obsessed with a stranger after they meet at the scene of an accident.
Not really,it’s rather slow paced and the main character is insane in a disgusting kind of way, if you know what I mean. But if you’re more into action, I’d suggest ‘Valhalla’ by Robert J. Mrazek. It’s about a conspiracy concerning an archeological discovery. There’s a cult that’s obsessed with the nordic gods as well.
Idol, Burning by Rin Usami
I’m A Fan by Sheena Patel
and of course Misery by Steven King, though in that one the obsessive one isn’t the POV character
