"okay, so, this stalker who's always on about how smart he is (though I don't remember the pov) because he wears gloves and knows when to stalk and is smart about this and that, he did weird things to animals as a kid killing them and mutilating them, I remember a detailed elevator scene, he lives in a small town, and I'm pretty sure the book was by an author that wrote a ton of horror. I remember the tagline being 'never kill anyone you know', and that was this big rule he had for himself, but he broke when he started stalking this one artist girl-thus the plot of the book begins."
