I’ve only run across something like this once in modern fiction. The vampires in Chris(tina?) Lester’s “Metamor City” stories have a kind of obsessive-compulsiveness / hyper-focus. Even the city’s head vamp has to stop himself from straightening picture frames, polishing fingerprints off tabletops, and spiraling into perfectly arranging his environment when he gets stressed. Lester credits those old “counting rice grains ‘til sunrise” legends as the inspiration.
