Ted Bundy: Conversations with a Killer
ByPublisher Description
In a series of death row interviews done shortly before his execution, infamous serial killer Ted Bundy gave a third-person "confession" of his many murders. This definitive book on Bundy was recently made into a Netflix documentary.
What goes on in the mind of a serial killer? Drawn from more than 150 hours of exclusive tape-recorded interviews with the handsome, charismastic Bundy, whose grisly killing spree left at least 30 young women dead across seven states between 1974 and 1978, this chilling exposé provides a shocking self-portrait of one of the most savage sex murderers in history. Speaking eerily in the third person, Bundy reveals appalling details about his crimes, discloses how he attracted his victims, explains how he methodically disguised his acts, and recounts his two daring jailbreaks.
Bundy also offers his thoughts on other infamous serial killers, including John Wayne Gacy and Son of Sam.

“In conclusion, deny deny deny. Ted was more than a little delusional and probably bipolar. If you’re into true crime & getting into the mind of a killer you’ll definitely enjoy this book.”

“I started this months ago, and just picked it up today to finally finish it. Although interesting, it’s frustrating to read Bundy continue to talk in circles. He speaks near the end about how people just want him to confess, and that’s how I often felt while reading this book.
Despite all of that, it is interesting to get a peak inside his head, and hear how he views “Ted Bundy” as a person the media, and people in general, constructed, rather than a reflection of who he really is.
“Oh well, who’ll remember either one of us in a hundred years?”
I cannot speak to whether people will remember the authors of this book, but I can with absolute certainty say that people will remember, and still be talking about Ted Bundy for far longer than a hundred years.”

“I think this book was informative to say the least, but if you’ve watched the Netflix documentary series it’s more or less similar. I wanted MORE information from the book.
Butttttt still a very interesting read!”
