Love Creeps (2005) is the third novel by American writer Amanda Filipacchi. It was translated into French, Italian, Dutch, Russian, Polish, and Korean. It tackles issues of love, desire, obsession, and addiction.[1]
Love Creeps is about a woman who has lost her desire - so she decides to emulate her stalker, and become a stalker herself.[2]
Critical reception
Authors Bret Easton Ellis, Tama Janowitz, and Edmund White provided blurbs, and film director Brian Dannelly said of it: "It's a love story of stalkers in New York. It's great. It's the funniest book I've ever read."[3]
Writing for the Boston Globe, Diane White compared Filipacchi's style to that of Muriel Spark and described Love Creeps as "extraordinarily funny".[1]
