One of the most well-known serial killers in American history, Theodore Robert Bundy, created a path of death and destruction that still looms large over the country today. A legacy of horror and misery, he enticed innumerable young women to their terrible deaths with a lovely smile and a captivating personality.

Born in Burlington, Vermont, on November 24, 1946, Bundy looked like any other young American with a bright future. Beneath the surface, meanwhile, lurked a dark and deranged mind driven by a poisonous combination of ego, entitlement, and a need for dominance and control.

By means of his confessions, letters, and interviews, Bundy exposed a complicated and unsettling person motivated by a need for fame, power, and control. In an effort to comprehend the mentality of a monster, this book explores the life, crimes, and confessions of Theodore Robert Bundy.
