About this listen

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" leads 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.

I understand that sometimes it is better to remove the emotion from difficult subjects and to present them in a clinical way but unfortunately for whatever reason the narrator chose a style which lends itself to the artificial and comes across as AI or as stated previously a text to speech program.

The book itself was excellent and not at all what I expected. The fact that I endured the monotone reader is testament to that.

Difficult and emotive subject matter narrated by an android.

I bought this thinking it would be an interesting true crime scenario. For the most part it was. It discussed things like murder for hire, kidnap and even terrorist activy on the Web.

I simply couldn't listen to the last chapter on child abuse and pedo crimes. Much too distressing to know such sick people live among us, and I certainly couldn't stomach hearing the fine details of such abhorrent crimes against babies and small children.

Not sure how to rate this one... Performance is horrible and the book is not properly structured. As for the stories in the book there are no words that could describe the feelings...

Confused and disoriented...

The book is very informative and well written. I found the narration difficult to hear and follow.

Very good story but narration difficult to follow

This is a decent book but it sounds like the narration was done by a text to speech program.

Informative but poor narration

Matthew Graham, the worst publisher of child abuse was an incel: a socially awkward teen who rejected all offers of help from his family. he did it to impress other men and have power. Appalling individuals like Peter Gérard Scully joined in.
As one peeedo website is taken down, these men just create more.
Real children are physically hurt, mentally destroyed, and killed. For some misfits to get their rocks off.
atp, burn it all down :(

This book covers some fascinating topics with a lot of interesting detail. Third section is a tough listen. Problem is, narration was absolutely terrible. I forced myself to finish listening just because the topic was interesting, but it sounds like it is being read by a robot. Weird pauses, pronunciations & inflection, I can’t believe this is a human being. Worst narration I’ve ever heard.

Interesting topic ruined by awful narration

I really struggled with the narration initially but it was so worth the listen, an incredible summary

Well worth the listen

The honesty of the truth about the “dark web”. Not using the typical sensationalist approach to discuss topics around the tor browser that is typically done in most story’s. This is written from a very matter of fact journalistic angle and I love it.

This is a hard audio to listen to. The first two chapters are great and informative. The third chapter is horrific but to understand the depravity of what is out there, you have to listen. Then you want to act to protect the innocent victims of this obscene horror.

Uncomfortable Must Listen
