Why these tropes fit
A first-person dark romance narrated by a woman haunted by Death personified as a faceless man. After a mysterious accident where only she sees the spectral figure, she becomes the obsessive target of his affection: he watches her from shadows, sends taunting love letters, marks her body with his touch as she sleeps, and removes the people she loves. Dismissed by everyone around her, she shifts from terrified victim into someone actively chasing Death itself, drawn to him as her 'dark love' and 'perfect other.'
