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.

What is this book about?
Psycho.com is a chilling look at what happens when murderous minds meet modern technology by the bestselling author of The Darkest Web.

  • A pair of teens go on a murderous rampage and their exploits are immortalized in the most shocking video ever to circulate the internet, “3 Guys, 1 Hammer”
  • A serial killer with over 100 kills to his name walks free and becomes a YouTube sensation
  • A psychopath lures victims through online dating to use as “research” for his twisted film project

Serial killers have been with us for decades. The internet has put them in our pockets. This book expands on three cases originally released in edited form for the Casefile True Crime podcast:

  • Pedro Rodrigues Filho, aka Pedrinho Matador, aka Killer Petey
  • Dnepropetrovsk Maniacs, aka the Hammer Maniacs
  • Mark Twitchell, aka Dexter Serial Killer
