Synopsis

Dark . . . A kingpin willing to murder to protect his dark web drug empire. A corrupt government official determined to avoid exposure.

Darker . . . A death in Minnesota leads detectives into the world of dark web murder-for-hire where hundreds of thousands of dollars in Bitcoin is paid to arrange killings, beatings, and rapes.

Darkest . . . A video circulates and the pursuit of the monsters responsible for 'Daisy's Destruction' lead detectives into the unimaginable horror of the world of hurtcore.

There's the world wide web—the internet we all know that connects us via news, email, forums, shopping, and social media. Then there's the dark web—the parallel internet accessed by only a select few.

Eileen Ormsby has spent the past five years exploring every corner of the Dark Web. She has shopped on darknet markets, contributed to forums, waited in red rooms, and been threatened by hitmen on murder-for-hire sites. On occasions, her dark web activities have poured out into the real world and she has attended trials, met with criminals and the law enforcement who tracked them down, interviewed dark web identities and visited them in prison.

Contains mature themes.

About Eileen Ormsby

Eileen Ormsby is a lawyer, author, and freelance journalist based in Melbourne. Her first book, Silk Road, was the world's first in-depth expose of the black markets that operate on the dark web. Eileen's gonzo-style investigations have led her deep into the secretive corners of the dark web where drugs and weapons dealers, hackers, hitmen, and worse ply their trade. Many of these dark web interactions turned into real-world relationships, entanglements, hack attempts on her computer and even death threats from the dark web's most successful hitman network as she researched Darkest Web. She now lives a quiet life off-grid as much as possible.

Online investigative journalism at its finest. The Darkest Web delves deep into the deprave's darkest desires bringing to light heinous acts of cruelty better left in the shadows of humanity.

Goodreads review by Sebastian

1. It's not Tor tutorial ;P 2. It's not an end-to-end analysis. 3. It's not a story of Darknet. 4. It's a collection of 3 separate "stories" (threads?) that represent "dark", "darker" & "the darkest" face of Darknet - they are quite selective, based on particular stories, cases, people (real ones) 5.

Goodreads review by Bri

This book, in my humble opinion, is a triumph of narrative journalism. Ormsby's first book, Silk Road, looked at the marketplaces on the dark web and the people who created and maintained their illegal trading. The Darkest Web goes further. Broken into three parts (Dark, Darker, and Darkest) I was b......more

Goodreads review by KillerBunny

Wow! Dark: I've always been very interested in the deep web, I've read about silk road, I've listen to audiobooks and podcast but I still learned about it with Dark.
