Summary

Please note: this series contains adult themes, strong language and scenes which some people may find upsetting. Listener discretion is advised.

One woman’s fiercely vivid account of being stalked, an 'invisible violence' that poisons her life.

When X sees Lily on stage, he begins an imaginary affair of 13 years, and counting. He’s crossed oceans, posed as her colleague. He even bought a suit for their 'wedding'. But they’ve never met.

Dancer and film-maker Lily Baldwin takes us into her world – the insidious fear, legal challenges, survival techniques. This series asks what’s at stake when we’re seen.

We want followers but we don’t want to be followed. And, without obvious blood, how can we measure this invisible violence?

A Ventureland production for Audible Originals.

Useful resources if you or a friend/family member is being stalked:

If you are in immediate danger or fear a threat of harm, call your national police emergency number.

Lily advises: 'We started STOP STALKING US because there was not enough guidance on where and how to get help. This is what we want to change. While that change is happening, we are sharing the best advice available from experts, while acknowledging that not all options are available to everyone in an equitable way. This needs to change, too.

If you are being stalked, we recommend you begin talking with law enforcement to create a log of evidence. Stalking laws and definitions differ from country to country and state to state, so local law enforcement can help you determine your next steps. For statistics to be accurate, we need stalking to be reported.

We’re sharing below helpful resources for some regions with programs in operation.'

pod of year so far for me, eye-opening & bloody terrifying. made me think about stalking properly for the first time. the lack of control! being at mercy of somebody else's demons! sophisticated & gutsy account.

gripped, I tell you!

Very interesting story about how a stalker affects the life of the narrator over 13 years. True story. It would have been more interesting if there was more on the stalkers background

Excellent narration

Really tough story I’m sure it’s been terrifying. Very emotional listening to her mum tell her perspective of the impact of the stalking. For me, the horror of the stalking was lost in the telling. Dramatic use of adjectives and creative phrasing - I just lost the story in the language. I understand the author is using language to blossom her feeling onto the page but for me, it marginalised the impact. I’m not minimising what she went through or is going through. I just don’t think the way the experience is told does the horror of it justice.

This is a brilliant piece of work, so courageous and with some incredible writing that I'm already wanting to go back to and listen again for the quality of the insight here. I'm a performer who has been on tour for a lot of my life too and I've had problems of a much lesser degree but they become consuming and terrifying; Lily Baldwin has captured so much in this and shared it so well. I haven't yet heard all of it but I'm very grateful to her for putting herself out there and daring to speak up so very eloquently.

Courageous and inspired
