Gods of the Dark Web

By: Lucas Mangum

Narrated by: Sean Duregger

From the author of Engines of Ruin comes a dark suspenseful novel for fans of Black Mirror, Edward Lee, and cosmic horror.

The internet is a scary place. Beneath Facebook and Twitter is another world. One in which anything can be obtained - for a price. A community of black markets, depraved pornography, and death. This is the dark web.

Leon was just curious. He had heard the stories of the secrets and forbidden fetishes that the dark web offered. He was an activist, protesting against war and hate. But after a protest became violent, he felt he needed protection. Being a teenager with no way to buy a gun legally, he had no choice but to turn to the dark web.

This rash decision sends Leon spiraling down into a dark side of humanity that most don’t know - or even want to know - exists. A world of murder, torture, and cannibalism. But behind all that there is something worse. Something stalking him and intent on ruining every aspect of his life.

Now, Leon is fighting for his life and reputation as he is being hunted by vile and arcane forces. They are the gods of the dark web.

Fantastic insane book

This book was sick, love it. Weak minds and stomachs should not go for it. But for all the brave smart open minded individuals. Is perfect. Fantastic narrative.

Gory and extreme

An eldritch Lovecraftian god and a cult of depraved followers that find victims using the dark web. Gods of the Dark Web is a short, mean and brutal story about the horrors of the dark web and the vile things that may take place there. This is the urban legend/creepypasta like version of what might be lurking on the dark web. We should all be a little more careful about meeting strange people we found on the internet. I love anything that has to do with the dark web/Internet horror so i just had to read this one when I heard about it.

There are a few moments in this book that were very gory and extreme so be warned if you have trouble with gore and violence.

Note: I received a free copy of this audiobook in exchange for this unbiased review

No Stew for Me

I did enjoy this dark horror of the dark web, there was a few stomach turning scenes. Recommend if you enjoy short horror stories. I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Thank you

A definite must listen.

Leon is in a situation when the book opens, tied up to be exact. When he has been missing for a week, his Dad calls his brother, Niels to tell him the upsetting news. Niels goes on a quest to find him but sinister beings and dark secrets will put both of them in harms way. With a cast of characters that range from Leon’s girlfriend to Niels ex-wife, and a woman Niels meets at Avalon Lake, there is so much to uncover before it’s too late.

O.K. I took 4 pages of notes on this one. I listened to the audiobook and it definitely heightened the experience. This one was rough to listen to because it goes into the dark web shenanigans.

I did not see 90% of the plot twists coming and Mangum really knows how to keep us on our toes. I read BONE CIDER and fell in love with his writing. (I have 4 more physical books and maybe 2 more audio. It’s NOT STALKING, IT’S SUPPORTING!)

Anyway, if you haven’t listened or read this one you are 100% missing out. There isn’t a flaw in this book. Seriously. It’s 99.99% perfection (0.01% for margin of error.)

5/5 helpings of baby stew

Wish it was longer!!

A great story. Awesome narration!! Wish it could’ve been a longer novel!! Great job! Thanks!!
