About this title

Synopsis

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 book 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

• 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.

About the Author

Madison Jayne Salters is a journalist, writer, editor, and translator who has lived all over the globe, only to settle back at her starting line: New York City. She works in publishing as a content leader for works in translation from Japanese for the US and European markets. She loves a good investigative deep dive, drinking too much coffee, her two little epileptic sausage dogs, and her partner―not necessarily in that order. Highly awarded for her work, she was once even named “Top 30 Under 30” by Westchester Magazine, which her family found hilarious. This is her third book.
