Notorious serial killer Ted Bundy murdered at least 30 women between 1974 and 1978, and Kathy Kleiner Rubin was just seconds from becoming another victim.

Kleiner Rubin, now 65, narrowly escaped Bundy when he broke into Florida State University’s Chi Omega house and killed sorority sisters Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman in their beds during the early morning hours of Jan. 15, 1978.

“Bundy gripped the oak log he had grabbed from the firewood pile by the back door. I saw him raise his left arm into the air. He slammed the log onto my face with tremendous force,” Kleiner Rubin — the only Bundy survivor to write a book — says in her memoir, “A Light in the Dark: Surviving More than Ted Bundy,” to be released on Oct. 3. “… My responses were primal. I wanted to scream for help, but I could not.”

They were like cars on the highway that had been rammed forward in a massive, multicar pileup.”
