Grim Reader

For 40+ years, random acts of murder have been acknowledged as a fact of life and untimely death in the United States. A cruel phenomenon seemingly conjured from perdition, names like Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy and Gary Heidnik were thrust into our psyches at the fore of media waves fueled by fear and fascination - an unholy trinity brought down just as F. B. I. agents coined the phrase that became a cultural staple: Serial Killers. Bureau studies of jailed offenders yielded vital data from the most guarded individuals on earth. In this tradition, The Grim Reader presents a candid look inside the minds and prison cells of five infamous serial criminals of the 20th century including Ted Bundy's never-before-published profile of the Green River Killer, deposited in the AOC Archives by Bundy's archrival, Green River Task Force investigator Robert 'Bob' Keppel.
