The inspiration for the five-part Amazon Original docuseries Ted Bundy: Falling for a Killer

This updated, expanded edition of The Phantom Prince, Elizabeth Kendall's 1981 memoir detailing her six-year relationship with serial killer Ted Bundy, includes a new introduction and a new afterword by the author, never-before-seen photos, and a startling new chapter from the author's daughter, Molly, who has not previously shared her story. Bundy is one of the most notorious serial killers in American history and one of the most publicized to this day. However, very rarely do we hear from the women he left behindâ??the ones forgotten as mere footnotes in this tragedy. The Phantom Prince chronicles Elizabeth Kendall's intimate relationship with Ted Bundy and its eventual unraveling. As much as has been written about Bundy, it's remarkable to hear the perspective of people who shared their daily lives with him for years. This gripping account presents a remarkable examination of a charismatic personality that masked unimaginable darkness.… (meer)

Great book! I did see the Netflix movie before reading this (which I hate to do) but it wasn’t so bad in this case. It was written and edited very well, the book filled in allot of the gaps from the nice which was helpful. And overall I find it very courageous of her to write this deeply personal account of a time in her life. ( )

Elizabeth Kendall is a courageous women. Writing this account for the benefit of all of us who want to understand human nature better. She seems honest and straightforward. One never gets the feeling, she is holding back. Seriously, this is a must read for true crime fans ( )

This is a very emotional and moving story of Elizabeth Kendall’s six year relationship with the notorious serial killer, Ted Bundy. Liz, with her young daughter Molly, were in a relationship with Bundy for six years.

For the longest time Liz stood by Bundy and believed in his innocence, even after he was arrested multiple times. Liz went to the police numerous times, but they mostly discounted her beliefs that Bundy might be involved in the murders. Her reports to the police seemed to be more of an effort to have them check out Bundy and prove he was not involved, rather than have him thought a serious suspect. However, over time the similarities were more than mere coincidences and Liz came to believe Bundy was guilty. But even at that point, she incredibly still loved him, despite his heinous crimes.

Liz had many faults and problems in her life. She was an alcoholic and drug addict, as was Ted. She often grew mad at Ted and never wanted to see him again, but she was addicted to the relationship and hated to be by herself, so time and time again, she let him back into her life in order to satisfy her need to be in a relationship, even if it was a toxic relationship. This was a part of her addictive personality.

The book has a section at the end of Molly’s story, told from the perspective of Liz’s young daughter Molly. This section is chilling. Molly tells of the ways Ted held her in order to be able to fondle her young body and how he would be naked in front of her when Liz was not home. Bundy was a very sick man.

The prose moves quickly and the book is a fast read. Liz provides an insight into Bundy and his mental state that no one else is able to provide as she was as close to him as anyone was for those six years. I highly recommend the book. ( )

Throws light on a woman's psyche of getting fixated on a man and ignoring all the red flags. But to author's credit, she stepped up to confront Ted, after many tries. Ted, meanwhile, seemed to have love for her only in his love letters, and not his actions.
What a sexually crazed, rapist-murderer, infidel monster! ( )

I've been trying out the Dublin Library's borrowbox app to borrow audiobooks that have nothing to do with my PhD so I can get my mind off of it for a little while, usually while doing housework or whatever. This was an impulse borrow, as I'm kind of entranced not by serial killers but by people who can completely manipulate other people, in this case to hide who they really are. What I got was an incredibly depressing account of an abusive relationship, written while still in Bundy's thrall, that gave me whiplash as she flew back and forth between jealous anger, fear that her boyfriend might be a murderer, and justifications and assertions that he could never and pleadings of love that were really difficult to listen to. I've been too close to similar relationships (minus the murder, i think) and it just made this mostly depressing and difficult. The preface and afterword where Kendall speaks directly to these issues was refreshing, and hearing her daughter's experiences at the end, in her own voice, was probably more along the lines of what I was looking for.
