I'm looking for literature that has to do with obsession; Sméagol from Lord of the Rings is the perfect example, but I am not a fan of J. R. R. Tolkien.
Taking the above into consideration, which literature would you recommend?
What are the best books about obsession?

All maximalist literature includes obsessive characters because all maximalist literature is produced by obsessive writers and consumed by obsessive readers.

The Monk, Frankenstein and The Phantom of the Opera. Ambrosio, Victor and Eric are obsessed: women, death/life, women again...

The Collector - John Fowles
Jayden Diaz
The 26 Enticements, The 4 Delights, The 6 Punishments.
It's written by Carlos Garcia Lopez, and it's an attempt of reconstructing the life of an early 19th century painter/mystic initiated in a cult of Cybele, whom after having a series of visions of the goddess decided to start a series of works painted with his own blood. He eventually succumbed from some sort of infection/blood loss.

Hubert Selby, Jr., The Demon.
The protagonist moves through a series of obsessions. (There is no supernatural element to the story, the title notwithstanding.)
Excellent book. Selby certainly understood the subject.
