User blog:Leslieannelowe/The Collector

While obsessive love has been around since Romeo and Juliet, The Collector brought the idea to a new level of intensity and terror. The book was written from the first person of both kidnapper and captive, bringing the intimate details of stalking, and the fear of a victim into focus. It is an horror beyond messure. Yet, that is what has made it popular.

We all have fantasies about being either a kidnappers, or a captive. From the harmless superhero games where Superman, Batman, or Wonder Woman is captured, to the dark realms of the serial killers, we are drawn into this world of chloroform, bondage, and helplessness. Things like this are best left to the fiction writers, and their abilities to create entertainment out of the secret desires that exist in all of us. In real life, it can only lead to tragedy, and prison.

This blog and wiki are meant only to explore the fantasy and fiction of obsessed love in media.
