The Murder Exchange: A Serial Killer Thriller

by Zachary Greaton

For every predator, there’s a hunter… and on The Murder Exchange, every kill is streamed for the darkest kind of entertainment.

Perfect for fans of American Psycho and Natural Born Killers, THE MURDER EXCHANGE can be read as a standalone dark horror thriller or as the explosive first book in the series.

Alex Craves the Rush.

A broken man living on the fringes, he’s addicted to fear, the kind that claws at your chest and makes your pulse race. When he discovers The Murder Exchange, a website on the dark web where death is for sale and murder is entertainment, he’s hooked.

Autumn Is chaos wrapped in beauty.

When she collides with Alex, they become partners in crime, hunting the untouchable men who believe they’re above consequence. Together, they turn murder into a spectacle and their dark desires into addiction.

But revenge is never simple, and as their kills pile up, so do the consequences.
The lines blur.
Justice becomes an obsession.
And on The Murder Exchange, every click feeds a hungry audience eager for blood.

This book isn’t here to give you happy endings or easy answers. It’s here to drag you into the darkness and keep you there.

A dark and disturbing page-turner you won’t want to escape.

About the author

Zachary Greaton grew up in Saco, Maine, went to school in Bangor-yes, Stephen King's Bangor-and spent his childhood wandering New England forests that felt like they were hiding something. (They probably were.)

He spent years directing music videos for major labels, which taught him how to make every frame hit. Now he writes books the same way: cinematic, visceral, and impossible to shake.

Horror. Thriller. Dark fantasy. Dark Sci-Fi. Whatever gets under your skin.

Zachary lives in Atlanta with his partner Andrea and two dogs who are absolutely not named after Scooby-Doo characters. He runs a large marketing agency-so he can write whatever he wants without worrying about what sells.

Author's Note: Check the content notes at the front of each book. Not every story is for everyone, and that's okay. I write because it's cheaper than therapy and slightly more legal than arson. If even one of mine stays with you, that's the whole point. Thanks for being on this ride with me.

Reviews

[Crystal Riley · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was really an interesting story. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would. There are a couple of typos and continuity issues (like her car is referred to as a charger but then it’s a mustang). Overall a quick easy read.

A Sinister Masterpiece of Twists and Psychological Terror

The Murder Exchange is the kind of dark thriller that grabs you by the throat from page one and refuses to let go. Zachary Greaton has crafted a chilling, intelligent, and unnervingly realistic story that burrows deep into the darkest corners of the human psyche. The pacing is razor-sharp, the writing is immersive, and the tension builds like a ticking time bomb.

Such a good book I can’t wait for the next one! The story between the two of them was also so moving in many ways. All the trauma that both of them had gone through and to see if how they had handled it in different ways. I had a hard time putting down this book.!

Couldn’t wait to finish this book. What was the point?

For being free and computer generated it was not bad at all. It was surprisingly good. If it had been voice narrated I’d have given it 4 stars.
