Are there two sides to every story? Or, at least, victims on all sides? Two writers delve into the subject of stalkers exploring why they do what they do and the consequences of their actions.
In Sam Blake ’s Your Every Move estate agent Rosie Kinsella loves her job selling high-end properties in London. But when she’s targeted by a mysterious stalker, her glamorous life is turned upside down.
Tanya Sweeney poses the question: where does being just a superfan end, and something more sinister begin? Esther Is Now Following You is a dark comedy about a woman whose own life, and the lives of those around her, begins to unravel when she fixates on an actor.
