Behind Closed Doors, B.A Paris!

The Dexter series, it is pretty much the same 1st person dark humor.
Christa Stanula Davy
Gone Girl, Hidden Bodies, The Butterfly Garden

I would also suggest Patricia Highsmith's Ripley series. There, too, the reader finds the killer to be very sympathetic.
Michele Smith
Our Kind of Cruelty by Araminta Hall

I found "Room" to be very similar... perhaps not in the telling but in the psychological trauma and the eeriness of how crazy and obsessed people can become. I recommend it if you haven't read it and like this book.

Very similar, but to a lesser degree- Loner. Narrator does not go as far as Joe does, but psychologically it's very disturbing. Plus, it takes place on a college campus so is very relevant and timely.

Berlin Syndrome by Melanie Joosten. Set in Germany, Clare is a tourist who quickly becomes the target of Andi's obsession. He is charming and sympathetic just like Joe.
Kimberly
The Collector by John Fowles, and The Butterfly Garden by Dot Hutchison (a very excellent book).

American Psycho by Bret Easton Ellis

Currently reading Amethyst by Brooklynn Dean. It's about a woman who gets really obsessed with a rocker. It's dark, gritty, first person present tense. Kind of gives me the same vibe in that way.
Lenny Burnham
Social Creatures isn't nearly as good but it's a very similar vibe
Angelica Pugh
This book is symbolically about black woman and obsessive satanic caucasoid man!
