What happens when a lonely man wins the lottery, buys a secluded house, and decides the one thing missing from his collection is a woman? John Fowles’ The Collector is part psychological thriller, part Gothic nightmare, and part very uncomfortable thought experiment about love, possession and freedom. And, rather inconveniently, the inspiration for it gets even creepier.
