Some celebrities and well-known people have fans who are so loyal and dedicated that many of them act more like stalkers than fans of their work. One of the most common ways this kind of behavior shows up is when people send fan mail through mail. Usually, this just means a fan sending a letter or small gift to someone they admire.
In some cases, though, fan mail can have a darker meaning and feel, like when people send their heroes things that are really weird and gross.
