Summary
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.

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

Difficult and emotive subject matter narrated by an android.
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.

Interesting topic ruined by awful narration
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.

Informative
An interesting book to listen too. I have to say though the last few chapters were a difficult listen

Stick to the stories
When this was documenting the dark web in the context of real life stories and things that actually happened, it was interesting and engaging. However these parts were interspersed with more theoretical “this is what you could perhaps do on the dark web” parts which I found somewhat less compelling. Narration also wasn’t great with repetitive weird pronunciations, e.g. the way she’d pronounce “forum”.

Confused and disoriented...
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...

Uncomfortable Must Listen
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.

Really interesting
A tough listen at times due to the content especially part 3, well worth listening to though.
