The Collector (John Fowles)

Never have I been more unsettled from reading a book than I have with The Collector.

This is a book that would go on to inspire serial killers, a book that is considered "the first, modern psychological thriller", a book that is just downright creepy!

Writer Paul Gallagher wrote a compelling article about Fowles and the inspiration behind this bone-chilling novel...and it's about as disturbing as the book itself.
