About this audiobook

Presented for the first time in audio format, the chilling transcript of Stephen G Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth's interviews with notorious serial killer Ted Bundy, as seen on the hit Netflix documentary series Conversation with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes—based on their New York Times bestselling book.

Handsome and educated, Ted Bundy killed scores of women during the 1970s, eventually confessing to thirty murders committed over seven states between 1974 and 1978. In 1979, much to the surprise of the nation, Bundy made the bold decision to represent himself in the Chi Omega murder case, thinking that his intelligence and enigmatic charm could best the prosecution. He was convicted, however, and was incarcerated on death row in Florida State Prison. After he exhausted all appeals, Bundy spoke to detectives, confessing to other homicides he committed across several states. He had already spoken frankly about himself, his victims, and his crimes to famed journalists Stephen G. Michaud and Hugh Aynesworth.

Thirty years later, thanks to the combination of an unlikely killer, a sensational murder trial (featuring Bundy acting as his own attorney), and a series of Death Row interviews that represented the dynamics of any extraordinary psychological profile, this prolific serial killer continues to intrigue and haunt the American popular imagination. Yet as Netflix’s sensational show reveals, an old case is never as preserved as it may seem.

Presented in audio format for the first time, Ted Bundy: Conversations with a Killer provides shocking insights into the killer's 11th-hour confessions before his death in a Florida electric chair in January 1989. Drawn from more than 150 hours of exclusive tape-recorded interviews with Bundy in 1980 by Michaud and Aynesworth—in which the veteran journalist used a psychological tactic to get Bundy talking in the third person-this audiobook, voiced by a cast of narrators, is a harrowing portrait of a serial killer’s final reckoning and the two journalists trying to understand the psychology behind the darkness.

    This book is a huge waste of time unless you want to hear Ted Bundy ramble on about nothing for 400 pages. There are a few interesting bits, but certainly not enough to make this book worth the time.

    Ted Bundy never confessed to anything so you will not find it in this book, yet here’s some new information that I didn’t know before.

    Fantastic Narration.
    Ted Bundy shows himself to be a true sociopath psychopath. He is heartless and clueless to himself and how he sounds.

    This book gave me an insight into how Ted Bundy's thought processes worked. The book reads as a transcript of recorded interviews. What made the audio book so good is the expert narration of the text into a gripping series of interviews revealing nothing about the committed crimes but exposes TB's psychology methods used to manipulate.

    This book offers an interesting look into the mind of a serial killer. It portrays him as someone who is essentially human, and not entirely as strange as we thought. I would have liked some more commentary or perhaps sideline information about the conversations than this book offered, but overall it is a satisfying book. A good book to read if you like reading in short spurts
