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.

In 1911 two British heiresses, Claire and Dora Williamson, read a brochure about a revolutionary fasting treatment that promised a lifetime of good health. The sanatorium in the village of Olalla, west of Seattle, was surrounded by a beautiful forest, sparkling waters and fresh air. The sisters agreed it sounded perfect and exactly the restorative holiday they needed. But within a month of arriving, under the supervision of Doctor Linda Burfield Hazzard, Claire and Dora began to realise the frightening truth – they were not patients but prisoners at the isolated sanitorium.

No one other than Warren Zanes, rocker and writer and friend, could author a book about Tom Petty that is as honest and evocative of Petty's music and the remarkable rock and roll history he and his band helped to write. Born in Gainesville, Florida, with more than a little hillbilly in his blood, Tom Petty was a Southern shit kicker, a kid without a whole lot of promise. Rock and roll made it otherwise.

This audible is well produced and performed - I enjoyed Barrie Kreinik's voice - however the telling of the story itself can grate with frustration at times as you wonder how Elizabeth repeatedly forgave and stayed with Bundy. I felt sympathy for Elizabeth through her challenges as a young single mother who battled alcohol addiction and the constant stress of Bundy's manipulation, narcissism, and emotional abuse. While I did learn more about the story we all know unfortunately I came to no better understanding of it all and feel only tremendous grief for the families and victims.

Fascinating to read, through Ted's correspondence, the self-awareness he acknowledged, of his "base" feral nature, although he also possessed true empathy. His true nature, to me, is like that of pampered alpha male domestic cat. Charming, intelligent, playful and deadly.
I am very greatful that Elizabeth and Molly saw fit to share, in the most human way, very personal experiences so that those of us who are interested to comprehend what is human, can gain insight.
Thank you.
Very insightful
