A popular bookstore has shut its doors after an alleged stalker left the owner fearing for her life in a saga with an eerie similarity to the Netflix show You. 

Nia-Tayler Clark opened her dream business BLACKLIT – a black owned and community-oriented book shop – in Farmers Branch in 2022.

However, she said running the operation became a nightmare after an unnamed man who lives in the apartment complex attached to the building has began harassing her in January.

Fearing for the safety of her employees, family and herself, Clark reported the man to their mutual landlord, filed a police report and even obtained a restraining order.

‘He is purposely intimidating our employees, our guests. He stands outside and paces our windows. He adjusts his body to make sure we see him and know he’s there,’ Clark told CBS Texas.
