Misery by Stephen King: Paul Sheldon is a romantic novelist kept imprisoned by his deranged fan, and literally needed to write what she wanted to survive. His escalating fear and suffering felt very real to me. The book is haunting and suffocating.
The Mask of Dimitrios by Eric Ambler: Popular mystery writer Charles Latimer, stumbles into a world of sinister political and criminal maneuvers when he wants to reconsctruct the career of notorious Dimitrios. A classic tale of an ordinary man finding that he is out of his depth.
Drood by Dan Simmons: a psychological thriller, historical mystery and Gothic horror. Wilkie Collins, the pioneer of detective novels, is depicted to descrnd into destructive obsession when investigating the mysterious Drood
