About this listen

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 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 behind - 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.

To hear a story of not the murdered victim or their family but a victim of the facade of a psychopath is something else. I highly recommend this book to anyone into true crime. Such a different kind of Ted Bundy book.

Highly recommend this book

This was a super unique perspective for a well-known story. Even in parts of the book that were a tad boring I found the narration and suspense to well and truely overcome this. Overall it was great!

A different side

I found this story to be quite immersive. I couldn't help but compare someone I had known with Bundy. The toxicity, gaslighting and the abuse. I could understand the choices Elizabeth made and it allowed so much insight and raw honesty. Highly recommend.

Immersive and powerful

This is a really interesting story but it nearly drove me insane as to why this woman was supporting a murderer.
Also promoting numbing pain with drugs and alcohol. Otherwise the story is interesting.

Why is she supporting a killer ?
