About Stalking the Shadows: My Ex, His Obsession, and the Digital Chains
What if the person who claimed to love you the most became the one who rewrote your reality?
In Stalking the Shadows, Dr. Rachel Levitch pulls readers into the chilling intersection where psychological abuse merges with digital surveillance — revealing how obsession doesn’t stop at walls, locks, or geographic distance.
This is not just a memoir.
It’s a technological thriller wrapped in truth.
When a relationship collapses into manipulation and coercive control, the real terror begins — not in the physical world, but in the invisible spaces of the digital one. Devices flicker with unwanted access. Online accounts shift without warning. A persistent presence lingers behind every notification, every login attempt, every shadow on a screen.
As Dr. Levitch navigates the unraveling of her personal life, she exposes a darker truth:
today’s abusers don’t need proximity — they just need a signal.
Stalking the Shadows shines a light on the modern reality of narcissistic obsession amplified by technology. From covert cyberstalking to emotional gaslighting, the story reveals how digital tools can become weapons, turning ordinary life into a maze of fear, doubt, and constant surveillance.
But it is also a story of reclamation.
Through courage, technical expertise, and sheer resilience, Dr. Levitch charts her escape from a technological web meant to break her — and shows readers what it takes to dismantle digital chains built from obsession.
Perfect for survivors, advocates, cybersecurity professionals, and anyone trying to understand the silent dangers of tech‑enabled abuse, this book is a powerful warning and a beacon of hope.
The journey continues in the companion book, Behind the Digital Chains: Cyber Abuse, Narcissism, and the Path to Psychological Freedom, where the long-term impact — and the fight to rebuild autonomy — is fully revealed.
