Oh my...this was, is absolutely nightmare-inducing and certainly deserves the trigger warning.

Why can I not get into more killer stories?! I was hoping this one would be goretastic - which it was - I was hoping to feel a bit unsettled - which I was, mainly because of the current situation in the world and how everyone is meeting online now, though the chances are low it's always possible, it hit home, however, it was just not very well written to me, it was fact heavy (not terrible) and I got confused by the very beginning of the book I don't think it needed the extra chapter - oh well, onto the next adventure

I've been into true crime (books, YouTubers, documentaries etc) for a while now but I don't think I've reviewed a book in the genre yet so Psycho.com will be my first. How exciting! Oh and I could hardly stop reading so I really enjoyed it!
This book covers three nightmarish cases where the internet somehow has played a role in the murders these people commited. The cases are about:
Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs, aka the Hammer Maniacs
Pedro Rodrigues Filho, aka Pedrinho Matador, aka Killer Petey
Mark Twitchell, aka Dexter Serial Killer
I was only familiar with Mark Twitchell but the other two were completely new to me. But oh boy these cases were WILD. And that's exactly why I had such a hard time to put the book down. I just wanted to keep on reading to find out what would happen next and how the serial killers were going to be caught.
I've got to really give two thumbs up to the author because I felt like it was a thoroughly researched and well-written book. It was detailed but not in a way where things become boring or hard to read. Even with the Dexter serial killer I learned some things that I hadn't known before so that was really great!
Psycho.com: serial killers on the internet by Eileen Ormsby was a dark but very fascinating read. These serial killers will haunt you in your dreams, mark my words.
