Ted Bundy withheld his darkest secrets from police, journalists, and psychologists. While on death row he shared these hidden insights with his closest friends in the Florida State Prison. Finally, a way to make sense of the mysteries regarding all of Bundy's perversions, his biggest influences, his secret dump sites, and what happened to his victims. Using Erving Goffman's concept of dramaturgy, this book is an insider's guide to the reality of what Bundy shared behind-the-scenes with fellow inmates and how he constructed a different identity backstage to what he revealed at the front stage. This work presents the uncensored, multi-layered, graphic details of this most notorious of murder careers, and in doing so provides readers with a comprehensive and authentic account of Ted Bundy.

Bernard East teaches sociology at Deakin University, Australia.

Chapter 1: Front Stage, Backstage and Sexual Homicide Typologies Chapter 2: Unsolved Homicide Cases Chapter 3: Victimology Chapter 4: The Significance of Souvenirs Chapter 5: Methods of Dispatch Chapter 6: Revisiting Ted Bundy's Signature Themes Chapter 7: Ted Bundy's First Murder Chapter 8: Validation and Significant Influences Chapter 9: Victim Totals Chapter 10: Possession and Perversion Chapter 11: Front Stage Narratives Chapter 12: Front and Backstage Principles

An interdisciplinary tour de force that uses the otherwise tiresome Bundy saga as a vehicle for a crash course in criminal investigative analysis and offender profiling, as well as a treatise on why our society celebritizes violent psychopaths; at the crossroads of forensic procedure and cultural studies, this is a refreshingly credible book on Bundy that does a deep dive into his grisly crimes, and which will consequently appeal to both scholars and lay readers alike. -- Michael Arntfield, Western University
