All Things Vice is a blog that was started in 2012 by Australian author and journalist Eileen Ormsby about news in the dark web. Since her investigations into the Silk Road in 2012,[1] the darknet market led her to blog[2] about various happenings in the dark web and two books, Silk Road (2014)[3] and The Darkest Web (2018).[4][5]
