About this listen
Stalkers, rapists, murderers… all found new opened doors, and a criminal playground for them through the internet, and victims are piling up.
Murder. Kidnapping. Cannibalism. Suicide. All these themes, among others, can be found in these true stories about various killers who have used the internet to lure out their victims. As you listen to this book, you will find the most shocking lives led by men and women from around the world. These true stories are from different years and areas. Places where these crimes are committed vary - mostly from the United States, United Kingdom, and Germany.
The stories are written in a way to help you understand the killer better by exposing his or her background and the reason(s) which led him or her to commit their murders. These types of killers are identified as people who are motivated by a psychological factor: some murders are triggered by anger or jealousy, others are just a way to seek attention, and some are merely committed for the thrill of the kill.

Story
The ancient Toltecs believed that life, as we perceive it, is a dream. We each live in our own personal dream, and these come together to form the dream of the planet, or the world in which we live. Problems arise when our perception of the dream becomes clouded with negativity, drama, and judgment (of ourselves and others), because it's in these moments of suffering that we have forgotten that we are the architects of our own reality and we have the power to change our dream if we choose.

Story
Why have history's greatest minds - from George Washington to Frederick the Great to Ralph Waldo Emerson along with today's top performers, from Super Bowl-winning football coaches to CEOs and celebrities - embraced the wisdom of the ancient Stoics? Because they realize that the most valuable wisdom is timeless and that philosophy is for living a better life, not a classroom exercise. The Daily Stoic offers a daily devotional of Stoic insights and exercises, featuring all-new translations.

Over the next five years, millions of more Americans are expected to take Ozempic and other GLP-1 weight-loss drugs, which are rapidly being recognized as the miracle drugs of this century. If you’re not on them, you’ll probably know someone who is. What are the implications of the widespread use of these drugs, both on our bodies and our society? In this show, you’ll meet people across America who are either taking the jab or thinking about it, and the shocking intentional and unintentional results they are seeing.

Story
Will Johnnie Veal—convicted of the murder of two police officers in 1970—be granted parole after 50 years in prison? How can he convince the parole board he’s reformed when he insists he’s innocent? What is prison time even supposed to accomplish? These are the questions that propel The Parole Room forward as it builds toward Johnnie’s 20th parole hearing—after 19 rejections.

Educational for Parents
Where does Social Media Monsters rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I listen to way to many books, and have far to many favorites to put this in a number slot. So I can say this it's in the to 10% of interesting reads.
What other book might you compare Social Media Monsters to and why?
The Vampire Next Door by T. J. Hunter. Same narrator, which I liked. Same publisher, which may also mean the same editor, but the styling is good in both books.
Which scene was your favorite?
This book is a series of short stories. I don't have a favorite scene, I do have a favorite effect. I played this book with my 13 year old daughter in the room, who I have been trying to educate on the dangers of talking to people you don't know online. The author emphasizes this point and many others to parents and teens at the end of the book. It explains why it is dangerous, and what are the best ways to protect yourself.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
"Stranger danger is more real online than in person."
Any additional comments?
This is a true crime book. I know, I'm stating the obvious, but I have a point. There is nothing light, fluffy, or redeeming in human nature to be found in books like this one. If you are easily disturbed by the ugliness in the world, please take a moment to consider the topic. This book is a great tool to exemplify why we need to teach our children about internet safety.

Awesome
This was a very enlightening book. More unsuspecting people should read this book. Learned what to not do when it comes to people you don't know. Basically, you just about can't trust anyone. Don't be so trusting, on the internet or otherwise.

Not bad…
There are many interesting stories in this book. If the stories were longer, it would have made it much better. Overall, I would recommend this to others.
Some of the grammar was pretty bad. "from which they came from"

I hope there will be a continuing book on this subject as to what happens in long beach killings. It was a very chilling book! But loved it! It's not drawn out straight to the point of the subjects. I never realized that everyday basic ads back in the 40s was a tool for serial killers makes me think twice about replying to an ad. Even on the Internet! Thank you for allowing me to listen to this book!
