Influencers Who Kill

A True Crime Collection: Real Stories of Online Fame and Fatal Consequence

By: Madison Salters

Narrated by: Alexa Elmy

From TikTok to YouTube, OnlyFans to Instagram, sink into nine bone-chilling stories of influencers who resorted to murder...or tried to.

Thousands of followers. Rapt audiences. Splashy photos and videos that rack up millions of views, crowning the popular few who beat the algorithm "Online Influencers." But what happens when the next reel on the slideshow of someone's life...is death?

Accidental or premeditated? In some cases, only you can decide.

This audiobook features nine fascinating cases, including Yuka Takaoka, Japanese bar hostess who stabbed her flirty host boyfriend; Nasim Aghdam, YouTube headquarters shooter; Snow the Salt Queen, cosplay shooter who maintains their innocence; David Katz, sports video game tournament shooter; Samantha Wohlford, mommy vlogger who tripped over her own lies in the interrogation room; Randy Stair, supermarket shooter who produced―and dated―cartoons; Trey Sesler, “Mr. Anime,” who murdered his family; Pekka-Eric Auvinen, admirer of violence who carried out one of Finland’s few school shootings; and Abigail White, OnlyFans talent who bullied and killed her husband.

Influencers Who Kill will look behind the internet handles and the painted masks and dive into the minds and motives of serial killers and would-be murderers who bloodied their hands with the spotlight trained on them.

Beautifully Written and Relevant

This was an absolute joy to listen to, beautifully written and terrifyingly relevant in this age of social media. Influencers Who Kill walks the line between classic journalism, the duty to tell stories without sensationalism and bias, and artistry, painting moments in time, childhood homes, and twisted mindsets in stunning prose. It was a great book to have on while doing light chores, keeping me engaged and fascinated so much so that time just flew by. Really loved it!
