    What happens when thousands of strangers decide you deserve to be destroyed?

    How do strangers become obsessed with someone they barely know?

    What happens when your stalker can destroy your life from the comfort of their own sofa?

    For years, Dr Jessica Taylor was stalked - not by a lone figure lurking outside her home, but by groups of people online. They watched her. They monitored her life. They spread rumours, stole her identity, analysed her posts, contacted everyone she had ever known and coordinated attacks designed to ruin her life.

    To end her life.

    And they believed that they were justified. Like all stalkers do.

    In Click. Stalk. Destroy., Taylor takes readers inside the disturbing psychology of online stalking. Combining her professional research with real-life examples and her own experience, she unravels the psychology of this disturbing behaviour as well as the radically changing landscape of stalking, including the prevalence of female online stalkers and 'she was asking for it' narratives.

    Revealing how the internet and social media has fostered new conditions for stalking, this is an exposition of today's hidden world of psychological warfare and digital surveillance.
