As per the title — I’m looking for more psychological domestic thrillers showing emotional abuse and manipulation with a focus on the beginning of the relationship. Recent if possible (< 5 years). Bonus points for stories that weave in how the abuser manipulates others to trap the victim.

*Helter Skelter: The True Story of The Manson Murders* by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry. It doesn’t meet your five year stipulation, but it is all about abuse and manipulation.
Here’s a very short story by Ursula Vernon based on the Little Red Riding Hood story.
It’s called The Wolf and the Woodsman:
