Ted Bundy is one of the world's most infamous serial killers. Before his execution by electric chair in 1989, he confessed to murdering 30 people during the 1970s. The Stranger Beside Me is considered one of the definitive works of true crime nonfiction, made even more creepy because the author knew Bundy personally.

"Ann Rule knew Ted Bundy as they both volunteered together. She was also a journalist and her recounting of what happened and her relationship with Ted Bundy during this time is fascinating. Very well written."
