In what can only be described as something out of a horror/thriller movie, a Texas bookstore owner has had to shut her business down due to an alleged stalker!

Nia-Tayler Clark owner of BLACKLIT, a popular bookstore in Farmers Branch, Texas, was left devastated after a situation with, what she describes, a relentless stalker forced her to shut down her bookstore and even leave town.

Speaking with CBS News, Clark says it was a dream come true when she got to open BLACKLIT and offer books by Black authors. BLACKLIT opened its doors two years ago but it has turned into a nightmare since January of this year, Clark has been dealing with a stalker who not only has been stalking her, but her employees and customers as well.

She told CBS News:

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. He's trapped me behind a register. He would not let me leave. Most of it is alcohol-induced. He always comes in with a cup usually. You can tell he has been drinking.

Fearing for her and others safety, Clark reported the incidents to police and obtained a restraining order; unfortunately, police have informed her that they cannot locate the man. In an effort to protect herself and others, Clark shut down her bookstore and moved across the country.

While it seems like it was the right decision for Clark to make, it seems incredibly sad that Clark had to pause her dream because of this.

Clark will be figuring out her next move as she hopes to reopen BLACKLIT somewhere else.
