Excerpt

DEDICATION

This book is dedicated to those who have been victims of narcissists whether they encountered them online or offline. Narcissists pretend to be what they are not and they can fool so many people in various, and oftentimes harmful, ways. I WANT YOU: Seduction Emails from a Nacissist is a work of fiction, it will hopefully be entertaining yet educational enough to illustrate how a narcissist seeks out their next target.


INTRODUCTION

Helena W. Hoffman is the main female character in Love Me, Need Me: A Narcissist's Tale, which is partially told from her point of view. This introduction is written in her words.


I had material that I wanted to share to show how a narcissist functioned. Due to Arlen's situation, as detailed in that book, many of his personal possessions were up for sale online. His Dell computer was discovered on eBay and I won it. Surprised that it even worked, I was able to get some of the files onto my travel drive before the computer died and an expert was unable to revive it. What I found were the following email exchanges that you'll read in this book.

Any woman who responded to Arlen’s trash talking was a "horny". This derogatory term separated the victims from the passing readers who happened to become a "friend" of his Triple Smart Productions site on MySpace.

As Arlen's manager, my motivation was to get him noticed. I even used a pseudonym, T.D. Davis, in order to conceal my identity. We chose a unisex/nonthreatening name. It was something Arlen encouraged so that no one would go after me, something he claimed occurred to him frequently online and in real life. It should’ve been a huge red flag, but I actually didn’t mind the anonymity.

My job was to promote his trio of zombie books, book public speaking engagements, and find him more and more MySpace "friends" which just might lead him to win some sort of literary lottery. I thought that Arlen was interested in having a huge site as that would increase his book sales and he would earn more money. So would I. But he was so immersed in being a stalker of women that even with his explanations that it was only done to attract readers/book sales, I wound up not believing him. Not after seeing all the passionate emails that were exchanged between Arlen and dozens of women.

I was in California and Arlen was in Alabama, so we never met. If he got together with any of the women from his intense MySpace correspondence, how was I to know? He could lie to me or tell me the truth and I couldn't discern the difference.

Why did I stick by Arlen so long and fish for more victims? Was I really that naïve? Wasn't I a MySpace madam? Couldn't I use Arlen's defense that no one was holding a gun to these women's heads? Yes, on all charges. Mea culpa. Only I was partially guilty. I wanted Arlen to make money as a writer. I wanted him to succeed and continue to write. I wanted him to do more public speaking gigs. And, for a while, I was under the delusion that this literary and charming Southern bad boy would fly out to L.A. and meet me. But Arlen only wanted to meet horny women. Women who were guaranteed bedmates. Women who didn't live across the country.

I’m sharing these emails so that the reader can learn how someone with a narcissistic personality disorder functions. It's not a dissertation; this book is comprised of a series of letters that shows Arlen's arc of seduction with eighteen different women.

When reading this, bear in mind that only the names and locations have been changed. You'll read raw emails in their entirety but some contain more spelling and grammatical errors than others as I've refrained from editing them. He used to tell me, "These women are horny." And, for Arlen, that's all that mattered.

Professional Reviews

Intrigued and sickened
"I happen to come across this book via a FreeeBooks e-mail I received, and though it reads in a disjointed way, as someone who dates online I found it intriguing. And scary as H. Wow. I so pity the women that were trapped in this man's web. Just sickening. Though not a clinician and though I haven't read the other "Arlen" books, I do question the author's 'diagnosis' of this. From what I've read his actions run into the realm of sociopathy not narcissism - though maybe the two overlap. No remorse or conscience, mimicking human emotion, charming, manipulatively mold themselves in line with the other person's professed needs, have/need a sort of 'cult' following, master wordsmiths, dominant, delusional... He's also married, which gave him an even more acute emotional distance from his prey, I imagine; he can just tell himself these women know he's taken and therefore deserve to be used and abused. Scary stuff, the author should think categorizing this book under Horror. :)"
