This book is every teen and every parent worse nightmare in physical form. While reading this book I had no idea where I was going to be taken, there were many plots and twists. Very entertaining and kept me on the edge of my sleep.
This book is about Nathaniel and Jamie two very diverse individuals. Nathaniel, a young man raised in a close knit religious community until one day is father does something unspeakable and their entire family are banished. His father rules his household with an ironed fist and women are treated as subservient. Jamie, a young man who is picked on at school for being the oddball and it doesn’t help he is large for his age. He grows up with a mom who is very promiscuous and often leaves Jamie to fend for himself. Because of this he grows to resent her.
An ill faded encounter brings this two together at school. The unlikely pair form a friendship. This begins Nathaniel slow descent into rebellion and acting on hidden desires. Jamie now has a friend someone he manipulate and an unlikely partner in crime. This begins their introduction into the dark web. The stakes become higher.
While reading this book the action started in the first paragraph to which I immediately said well damn. This is very extreme and graphic and I would encourage you to check your triggers. Many of times I covered my hands over my mouth due the graphic descriptions of the scenes. Definitely a must read the ending was explosive. ´ཀ`

What happens when you combine the twisted talents of 2 amazing horror authors? This. This right here. The mic drop at the end had me gobsmacked.
I can't wait to see more collaborations from these authors.

⤿ the beginning of my torture
➼ “Amanda was being eaten alive, rotting away. Maggots crawled over her face, up her nostrils, and by now it seemed she had lost the strength to shake her head to remove them.”
⤿ i really wanted to read a book about the dark web, so finding this felt like discovering a diamond... or so I thought. I think it was actually more like finding Amanda’s skeleton 💀.
⤿ plot 📖₊˚⊹♡
the story explores the lives of two boys. The first one is Nathaniel, better known as Nate for short. He comes from a religious community, but guess what? He was kicked out because his father committed adultery (a.k.a. the king of hypocrisy, who doesn't even allow mirrors at home because of "vanity", but sure, go ahead, cheat, and ruin your wife's trust 🤡). So bye bitch they get thrown out of the community. Naturally, there's a huge culture shock and his bubble bursts, especially when he sees girls dressed so revealingly. Nate was wearing his perfect, wrinkle-free uniform, making him an easy target for bullying. He was in a vulnerable position and ended up falling into the hands of the worst character in history 🔪.
⤿ Jamie : the heir of satan 🐀₊˚⊹♡
I truly, deeply hate this son of a bitch Jamie, a walking asshole 🤬. Every single time he appeared, I wanted to throw my tablet or take a deep breath. Look, I get it, your life is shit: you’re poor, your mom is negligent and prefers sleeping with random guys, but that DOES NOT justify the fucked-up things you do .
Sorry, but this rat loses my mind:
✦ He's a horrible, disgusting manipulator who only thinks about torturing women, and most of his pages were just about that
✦ At one point it gets so repetitive: forcing them to swallow fluids with feces, leaving them to rot breeding flies and maggots, or fucking an eye socket. Yes, that happened… fucking an eye socket
✦ He had hurtcore fantasies just because a girl insulted him, instantly trying to become the incarnation of Terrifier to make his Temu snuff videos. He's a disgusting depraved freak who justifies abusing women just because they called him fat
But this asshole went way too far when he tried to abuse his best friend's sister... she was 12. Then, the miserable piece of shit does horrible things to his uncle—the ONLY person who reached out and offered him food. And do you know his logic? 💀 The absolute idiot justifies himself by saying that if his uncle had really loved him, he would have adopted him.
₊˚꒰🏆꒱ the detective: biggest idiot award
Now, onto the detective, who deserves the Grammy for the most dumb character ever . Seriously, your nephew tore your anus, killed multiple women, and when Nate finally wants to shoot him to end that monster's life, do you know what the detective says?
➼ “We have a law in place for that, son. Now come on, don’t play judge, jury, and executioner. That’s not your place.”
REALLY?! The hypocrisy! 😭 Well, what did I expect, if in the final confrontation the detective HAD to shoot Jamie in the head anyway, but got tied up and tortured first because of it, aghhh! 💢
⤿ Nate downfall ₊˚⊹♡
I hate Jamie so much that words aren't enough, especially when the idiot says he "created" Nate, like bla bla bla 🙄. Bro, literally when Nate came back with his whole mogger look, Jamie was dying of jealousy seeing girls looking and flirting with him, all because nobody would touch Jamie even with gloves on. It pissed me off so much how he tried to sabotage Nate's relationship with Rebecca. She seemed like one of those mean girls at first, but she had a tragic background being abused by her dad, which led her to sleep with horrible guys . Nate was the first to treat her with love, and Jamie wanted to split them up all the time, even spreading rumors that she was cheating. Like, why do you want to ruin Nate's life so bad, huh Jamie, you horrible rat?
Nate was my protected boy until the Becky thing happened. I know it was hard for Nate living in that controlling home with stupid rules, his dad's hypocrisy, and being abused by his math teacher (a.k.a. Mr. Bananas 🍌) just to get a phone or a laptop. The point is Jamie obviously took advantage of this so they would kill the teacher. And yeah, the son of a bitch deserved it for being a pedophile, and it was funny when he drowned in his own dick... BUT THEN when they did that to his daughter, it was SO disgusting. She didn't deserve that at all. That’s where Nate fell off for me, and I hated him even more with the ending:
➼ “Soon, I’ll start my homage to you, Jamie,” Nate whispered.
When he wants to continue with the "homage"... homage to WHAT?! To the guy who tried to abuse your sister?! Wow Nate 🤦🏻♀️.
You know what's funnier? Nate's sister, Johanna, had the balls to do what the detective couldn't and put an end to everything . At the end, it turned out she was completely crazy too (you can tell in the epilogue when she slashes a guy's face with glass just for messing with her sister)
₊˚꒰💌꒱ overall / conclusion
In conclusion, the concept seemed interesting, but at one point the descriptions became like "I'm so edgy writing how women get abused in a thousand ways". They tried to sell the detective as smart when he had the IQ of a donkey, constantly suspecting them but doing nothing. All the characters were hateful except the sister. The only reason these two brats got this far was because the detective was so stupid he should've strangled Jamie when he was a baby . The book had potential if it hadn't focused on being so edgy and instead developed a good plot and tension.
༉‧₊˚. Lesson learned, guys: If you see the weird outcast guy rejected by everyone showing you his taste for watching women tied up and spanked... RUN 🏃💨! That’s just the iceberg of everything he'll do, and he'll also hide how much money they both made.

Heirs to the Dark Web follows the unexpected friendship between Nathaniel and Jamie— two very different teenage boys who fall into the clutches of the darker side of the internet.
Nathaniel, raised in a strictly religious and sheltered household, is exiled along with the rest of his family from their devout community after his father breaks the sacred covenant.
Now forced to live amongst secular, worldly people— Nathaniel is thrown into the public school system where he must fend for himself.
After a couple days of bullying due to his overly modest attire and 'incel-ish' type looks, he is eventually befriended by another outcast named Jamie.
While Jamie takes Nathaniel under his wing, there's a more sinister side to the kid. Dealing with years of bullying, giving off an incel-like vibe himself, coming from a broken home with a promiscuous mother who raised him in poverty— Jamie has seemingly been bred to become some sort of monster.
And he is.
Heirs to the Dark Web is a depraved story about manipulation, desire, greed, and a whole lot of torture porn.
Jamie preys on Nathaniel's gullibility— inspiring the naive teenager to engage in committing horrendous acts of 'hurtcore' for money, and of course— to become the biggest and baddest duo on all of the dark web.
Throughout the story, I often felt for Nathaniel and absolutely loathed Jamie for his divisiveness and predatory demeanor. The two characters were fleshed out, and you could easily recognize the polarizing difference between the two.
Until they become one, and it all descends from here.
The book is disturbing, with many graphic scenes of acts you'll just need to pick up the book and read about— yet, the story sometimes felt inconsistent. At times it felt incredibly slow, and then bam— it just slaps you in the face with utter depravity. The plot also felt a bit overly familiar, and stories about incel-like teenage boys can become tired quickly... at least for myself.
I did find myself thoroughly surprised at the unexpected plot twist towards the end and found it to be a solid setup for the sequel, A Covenant Renewal, which I will probably read out of simple curiosity— but I felt like this particular book could have been much shorter.
Overall, I don't really know how to feel about the book so I'm rating it as a hard 'maybe' with ★ ★ ★ stars— a smidge above the middle. The detective portion of the story and its ending really saved it for me, so we'll see how the second book goes.

I love when I can sum up a reading experience in a few words: interesting → wait, what? → the fucking fuck → I quit → wait, no, I don't quit → oh, hell yeah?
This book is extreme in the truest sense. It's one of those cases where I go, "Why do I like this?". If you've got no triggers, dive in. But honestly, look at the authors. You know what you're getting into.
We follow Nate and Jamie as their curiosity pulls them into the horrors of the dark web alongside their extreme curiosities, depravity, and the kind of disturbing adventures you can't look away from. My favorite dynamic, though, came from siblings Nate and Johanna (when you read the book, you'll go, "Ohhhhhhh...no, no, no").
It's a wild ride, an amazing collaboration between Boote and Camphouse, but also... WTF???

RTC BRB vomiting 🤢
Check your trigger warnings ⚠️ cos there's just way too much for it to be normal
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🔥💀 NOT FOR THE FAINT-HEARTED...NOR WEAK STOMACHS 💀🔥
From the authors who gave us Monsters, Ingest Me, and Apex Prey comes a story that drags you headfirst into the filthiest, most depraved corners of humanity.
Heirs to the Dark Web isn’t just extreme horror — it’s EXTREME in every possible way.
Here, we follow two boys - Nate, a boy from a strict religious family who is forced to start over after his father’s disgrace, and Jamie, hardened by abuse, neglect, and endless rage.
These two boys, complete outsiders have an instant connection, while wanting two different things. Nate just wants to belong, and Jamie just wants to take revenge on those who have bullied him.
ENTER...The Dark Web...and once Jamie stumbles upon the hurtcore scene, you know the direction this is gonna go...it spirals downhill fast!
With Nate as his accomplice, Jamie sets out to unleash his darkest urges — and we are literally dragged along for the ride, every VILE, VIOLENT moment becomes something UNFORGETTABLE...
BUT, here’s the thing:
It took me a while to finish this once I started it as I had to put this book down more than once. Not because it lagged — but because it was THAT VICIOUS!
👉 If you’re into horror that shatters every taboo, makes your stomach churn, and leaves you questioning your sanity for finishing it, this is your next read.
This is EXTREME HORROR at its most savage, and now I finally have book 2. I've wiped off the spittle and traces of vomit from book 1 so I can gear up for the atrocities that await me in book 2.
For fans of Aron Beauregard, and Daniel Volpe — this one will feel right at home on your shelf.

Nathaniel starts public school and immediately finds himself being bullied for his religious ways fortunately for him a young man who’s also been horribly bullied by the name of Jamie befriends him . Jamie having grown up in a home with a mother who is extremely promiscuous is looking to get out of the house and act on some of his pent up anger.
It isn’t long before Jamie teaches Nathaniel about the dark web.

When they come up with a plan to make money fast and become “HEIRS TO THE DARK WEB”
This is an extremely graphic book. If you have any triggers, this is not for you ! As always much thanks to the authors for the early read.

Jaimie is such a piece of shit, couldn't find him one redeemable quality.
A very good book, the writing was great. Nate was a really interesting character. A scene even made me cringe.
I wanted a bit more story about Rebecca, I wanted Nate to realize she wasn't a bad person. Also, I'm not a feminist by any means, but why are women so dumb and such bullies in this book. Could we gotten at least one girl who wasn't an horrible person.

This was really fun to read! This has some savage teenagers that do bad things on the internet! Loved the disgusting stuff with the flies 🤣
September 22, 2025
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ / 5! What a fantastic collaboration! Will definitely be checking out more of JB’s work too! 😄
•MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD•
This book is absolutely brutal, visceral, and impossible to put down!
It follows Jamie, an incel child whose traumatic upbringing - neglect, hunger, and being forced to witness his mother’s destructive choices - warps his young mind and pushes him toward hurtcore. At first, there’s sympathy for Jamie as a neglected boy, but as his grip on reality unravels, that sympathy quickly erodes.
Enter Nate (Nathaniel), a boy scarred by religious trauma and an abusive father. His vulnerability makes him easy prey for Jamie’s manipulation. While you understand why Nate is so impressionable, watching the descent into darkness is both disturbing and compelling.
Jamie’s ambition to crown himself the ‘Heir to the Dark Web’ drives the story into darker and darker territory. The gore is disgusting and is done with such intensity that you can’t stop turning the pages.
And the ending? I did not see that coming. It was shocking, brilliant, and left me reeling.
If like me you’re fascinated by dark web fiction, twisted psychology, or just want a read that will grip you by the throat and refuse to let go, this book ticks every box. Go and read it - now!

Heirs To The Dark Web OUT 26th September 🤯
So I of course couldn’t wait to read this! I’ve read all of Lesley’s books so far & loved them all. Justin is also one of my fav authors & a great guy. I just knew this was going to be unreal & obviously it was that and more 🤎
Nathaniel isn’t happy, brought up in an extremely religious family his dad, Jacob has committed the ultimate sin…adultery! They’ve now been ostracised & exiled by the community & it’s safe to say having to move miles away to start afresh does not sit well with Nathaniel!
Jamie has always been bullied, he has no friends & his mother is more interested in her extra activities than him. He is filled with hate & rage.

A well written story of two boys who become friends and enter the world of the Dark Web and Hurt Porn. The characters feel real, the plot plausible and the hurt Porn scenes graphic.

A fantastic little read from two powerhouses in the genre.
September 15, 2025
A middle school student named Nate, raised in a strict religious household, starts public school for the first time and is immediately targeted by bullies. Among the other outcasts is Jamie, loner from a broken home. Jamie’s mother is an alcoholic who neglects him, and his pain has led him to fantasies of revenge. Seeing a kindred spirit in Nate, Jamie quickly befriends him.
Because of his parents’ strict rules, Nate is forbidden from owning a phone or computer — until a teacher loans him both to help with schoolwork. When Jamie discovers this, he begins exposing Nate to online material he would never have otherwise seen. At first, it’s ordinary pornography, but soon Jamie escalates to disturbing content hidden deep on the internet.
As Jamie’s obsession with vengeance grows, he begins to see Nate not just as a friend but as a potential accomplice — someone he might mold into carrying out the violent fantasies he’s been nursing for years.
Leslie Camphouse and Justin Boote’s story is a descent into the darkest corners of adolescence, exploring the making of a psychopath.

What a rolarcoaster! This book actually turned my stomach at some points! I had to take breaks frequently due to the unholy detail! I will definitely be reading book 2!

For extreme horror/splatterpunk fans, you'll get a kick out of this one. It highlights the nature of negligence in a kid's life and the push of religion can lead to children growing up with more curiosity to morbid thoughts and actions. This was definitely a tough read—but it was very fun, uncomfortable (which is what I love), and so gory that it makes it so I can't put the book down.
That ending with the uncle, though—bruh. I was a little disappointed on how that turned out, but also moved on from it fairly quickly and am interested on the story, since the author left it on such a pretty good cliffhanger. Overall, a fun extreme horror book!

The most gore book I’ve read
I’ve read a lot of gore and splatter core, but this book is SERIOUS. I turned on my iPhone screen read and had to close my eyes at certain points as if it would help. Awesome book. Definitely gonna read book 2

Heirs to the Dark Web by J. Boote and Lesley Camphouse
⭐⭐⭐⭐
And this is why I never drink other people’s drinks. Okay, maybe not this specific reason, but same concept!
This razor-sharp splatterpunk rampage hurls you into the shadows of the digital underworld from page one. What hooked me most was the strong character development between two unlikely allies; their tense partnership crackles with tension and unexpected depth, making every interaction feel raw and real.
The plot delivers twist after twist I never saw coming, blending shocking, disturbing, and downright disgusting elements into a compulsive read I couldn’t put down. I was on the edge of my seat. From these two amazing writers, I didn’t expect anything less; they’ve mastered the art of keeping you guessing while delivering warranted shock value.
Heirs to the Dark Web kicks off J. Boote and Lesley Camphouse’s brutal extreme horror series, tracking two bullied teens, Nate and Jamie, as they dive headfirst into the dark web’s hurtcore underworld. Desperate for cash and payback, they start churning out savage videos, spiraling deeper into savagery fueled by their scars and a craving for twisted fame.
This one’s a raw gut-punch on bullying’s scars, shattered families, and the dark allure of viral infamy online. It unleashes unfiltered emotional and physical carnage; no holds barred. Extreme horror diehards only. Every trigger warning in the book (literally).

not really my kind of thing. This was all kinds of crazy. I get how this is good if your into the whole pitch black horror but it's not for me and I'm not going to be reading the second one. 3 stars.

4.5 rounded down
A very religious and sheltered boy, Nate, is uprooted and forced to go to public school. There, he befriends the school loser Jamie. Jamie holds a lot of hatred for his life and his upbringing and grooms Nate to be like him. Together they deep dive into the world known as the dark web, specifically hurtcore and murder videos. The boys commit heinous acts of torture and violence for the sake of uploading and spiral down the rabbit hole of this dark lifestyle. Will their evil deeds catch up with them?
MY THOUGHTS
Be careful who you befriend on your first day of school….sometimes your friend doesn’t have your best intentions in mind.
Nate is so naive and gullible and desperate for friendship that he is being easily manipulated by Jamie. From technology, to cursing, to girls, to sex, to personal traumas, he goes through a lot of new experiences in a short amount of time. Typical good kid becomes rebellious bad kid.
Jamie is just plain angry and evil. He knows he has Nate under his thumb and already has horrible fantasies about hurting others. He eventually sees himself as the Heir of the dark web after a few successful videos and will do anything to keep the camera rolling.
These boys dive into the world of the dark web, realize they can make their own videos to earn some money and fame so that’s exactly what they do. Money and the desire to be infamous is so intoxicating, as is the feeling of being untouchable.
The maggots and flies….That is all.
Very graphic. Very ruthless. Very reckless. Pure evil. Very well written. This is definitely an extreme horror. There is depth to the characters, a great plot and lots of vivid events and scenes that take place. The middle got a little slow for me and then picked up again. I was not expecting that type of ending either wow!

Nathaniel and Jamie meet each other at school, on Nathaniel's first day of public school. Before this, he had not attended a "normal" school, and had no idea how the "real" world works. Luckily for him, Jamie has some answers to those questions, starting with introducing Nathaniel to hardcore, and brutal pornography. Nathaniel, feeling stirred by the things he was raised to believe are very wrong, begins to slowly transform into who he thinks he wants to be. Now, known as "Nate", Nathaniel, and Jamie begin to blur the lines between desire, and justice in those who have wronged them. The "justice" they carry out, in bloody fashion, earns them a nice little following on the dark web. How long can they go on, without being caught? Will they be caught? And, can they, as newly best friends, together, become the heirs to the dark web? This was an engaging read, for sure! The violence, and gore were great, but not over the top. This could easily be an introduction to the genre for anyone who likes torture, gore, and revenge. I felt particularly bad for Nate, having been exposed to a whole new world that he didn't know he was being indoctrinated into. You really feel bad for Jamie, too. Being a relatable loser, bullied by his peers, and basically neglected by his mother. However, you really grow to hate him, with his growing god complex. This was a great tale of the seduction of sexual violence, the greed of money, and the strength of, and lengths one will go to for friendship.

contains spoilers
Warning. If you have ever had thoughts of what’s on the dark web. What really goes on in there…. Well….
Jamie, a young teen, is an outcast at his school. He is constantly bullied for the way he dresses, his weight, well, just being an over all loser. Nate, a new student, with a strict religious background & very naive of the ways of the world. Jamie, tired of being the loser of the school, hones in on Nate, and sees him as an opportunity to mold him into his new BFF, and use him for nefarious means. Jamie has a bad streak in him and loves to watch hurt core. He dreams of hurting some of his school bullies. His mind goes to places no normal teen would take their thoughts. He is obsessed with hurt core. He dreams daily of savagely hurting his bullies. He knows Nate can help him achieve those dreams. But when Jamie realizes he can make serious cash just from uploading to the dark web, he becomes obsessed like never before. He focuses on Nate, convincing him he should hurt those that hurt him too. Being naive that he is, and anger driving his emotions, it becomes easy for Nate to want to hurt them too. Together they act out the unimaginable…to several of those bullies. Jamie on the other hand gets greedy and gets carried away with wanting more and more. But it’s not even always about money. He loves hurting. Thrives on it! The dark web is a bottomless pit of paying customers that want the most deprived and horrific things done to innocent people. And are willing to pay top dollar for the most horrendous acts performed. Doing things no young teen could even fathom doing to another person. But then Jamie goes too far, Nate gets caught in the crossfire.
I did not predict the ending AT ALL. So unexpected! I never would have imagined it would take that route. Such a great ending!
This book has a fantastic plot that kept me I’m engaged the whole book. The kills scenes in this this book are fire. So detailed, & graphic. My fav kill scene was Debra. But the others….like damn! Sometimes I could imagine I was there in the room watching, with the amount of detail that was written. But glad that I wasn’t for fear I’d be next! I love extreme horror and this is the perfect book for extreme!
This book comes out September 28th. I highly recommend putting this on your TBR. Considering the authors that wrote it, that alone should be enough to convince you to check it out. Coming September 26th!

Man, that was disturbing. Take some incel rage, mix it up with some religious fervor, add some bondage and BDSM videos, sprinkle it with teenage lust, give it to a couple of high school virgin boys - and watch the whole thing explode when, on the following step, they discover the sick joys of the Dark Web!
No need to flag this as an extreme horror novel, full of vileness and brutality: coupled with the names of Boote and Camphouse on the cover, the reference to the Dark Web on the title should be warning enough! It's definitely a 18+ work. What makes it even worse, though, is the fact that something like what's happening in this story might actually happen, or maybe even has happened somewhere: the setting and the connections to real life are evident, and the rage, the opportunity and the appetite are surely all there. It's so easy for kids to access darknets, get seduced by easy money, and commit the most depraved kind of abuse towards others, out of resentment, dissatisfaction, or simply boredom.
Its extreme content acknowledged, the book seems to me to be also about corruption: moral, spiritual, systemic - though not the corruption of innocence: these boys are already far on the way to perversion and wickedness, the one because of neglect and hate at home, the other because of religion. The addition of a teacher prepared to sexually harass boys at school also tells against a sane and healthy system into which 'innocent' boys somehow enter; similarly the repeatedly noted promiscuity of the schoolgirls indicates explicitly serious trouble at home; and the ending takes this idea further, showing how corruption reproduces itself in a already rotten system from the inside. Strangely, the single discordance on that front is the cop: he's honest, caring, active - obviously this won't end well lol!
I highly recommend the book. It's fun, violent, unsettling - and quite well-written. I eagerly await the authors' second collaboration, this was terrific extreme horror entertainment, it'd be a shame if it turned out to be an one-off !

⚠️ ARC REVIEW — Heirs to the Dark Web by Lesley Camphouse & J. Boote
This book didn’t just crawl into my brain—it kicked the door down, rearranged the furniture, and left bloody footprints on the walls.
We start with two broken boys—Nate and Jamie. Outcasts. Walking red flags. Trauma bonded and barely holding it together. Nate’s quiet, religious, trying to stay afloat after his family implodes. Jamie? He’s pure wildfire. Angry, sharp, electric with danger. The kind of kid who laughs when things burn.
And then it goes there. Jamie stumbles into the dark web like it’s made for him, and Nate—sweet, lost Nate—gets pulled along for the ride. Curious, scared, and just desperate enough to say yes.
And from that point on? Everything. Gets. Worse. In the BEST possible way.
This story doesn’t hold your hand—it shoves you straight into the abyss. The writing is raw. Gritty. Absolutely feral. There’s no comfort here, no safe word. You are meant to squirm. To question what the hell you're watching unfold. To feel like maybe you shouldn't be seeing any of this. But this book grins back and will not let you look away!
The pacing?? Unrelenting. It grabs you by the throat and drags you through scene after scene of escalating horror, and just when you think it can’t get any more messed up—surprise. It can. It WILL.
And then comes the ending. I won’t spoil the holy sht* ending! It’s unexpected and shows a devilish grin 😈 This is not a story that fades—it lingers, it infects, it asks for more.
Lesley Camphouse & J. Boote —-
So... can we talk book two? Please? 🤞🏼
This book is bold, brutal, and completely off the rails—in the best, most addictive way.
