The first serious book to reveal the cultural dimension of this obsessive pursuit and examines stalking in the context of contemporarymedia-saturated culture. It also hows that stalking has been part of the cultural consciousness (and unconscious) for almost 200 years. By examining the depiction of stalking in books, films and the news, and drawing on forensic psychology, psychoanalysis and cultural theory, this book reveals how fears and desires are expressed in contemporary culture.
