Confessions of the Obsessed

It’s a phrase you hear often. A habit of speech. I’m obsessed. It can be a squeal or a quiet whisper—typed in all caps on internet forums or confessed late at night to someone you trust. Obsession seeps into everyday life, reorganising it without announcement. It accumulates, quietly, insistently, and demands our attention. What does it mean to live alongside an obsession? To resist it, or to give in? Confessions of the Obsessed is an anthology dedicated to these fixations and longings. Across essays, short stories, and personal reflections, writers explore the intensity and gorgeous devastation of obsession and desire.
