    About this ebook

    Harvey Glatman was, from his teenage years onward, obsessed with ropes and bondage, pornography, and a burning desire to dominate women through fear. Inspired by his huge collection of bondage art and photography purchased from Irving Klaw, Glatman evenetually turned his perverted fantasies into a terrifying reality raping, torturing and murdering three young models, before an attempted fourth killing was thwarted by a passing police patrol officer. This special short ebook in the Careers Of Evil-series examines Glatman's deeply twisted life, shocking crimes, and eventual punishment in vivid detail; from his teenage convictions for robbery to the culmination of his horrific and brutal killings, HELLBOUND is the deeply disturbing story of a psychopath who was never able to control his macabre urges.

    CHAPTER ONE

    In his own eyes, when Harvey Glatman became a murderer at the age of 29, he finally became a man.

    The stooped, bespectacled, jug-eared Los Angeles television repairman actually seemed to be proud of what he had done as he re-visited the Anza Desert scene of his crimes in the pre-dawn hours of October 31, 1958, with a grim corps of Southern California detectives and newspapermen. The confessed sex maniac, ravisher and killer at three beautiful young women, almost gloated as he pointed out the bleached bones of his victims and the pitiful shreds of their clothing. Even the hardened professionals surrounding him were amazed by his failure to show the slightest sign of remorse.

    There is an old gag that goes, when I was a boy, the girls wouldn’t spit on me, but now that I’ve grown up, they spit on me. This was the case with Harvey Murray Glatman, or so he was convinced in his twisted mind. The fact is that Harvey Glatman, from early childhood, was what is com-monly referred to as an oddball, a creep, a spook.

    Harvey was born in New York City, the only son of decent, respectable, hardworking parents. They moved to Colorado when Harvey was a small boy and he was raised in and around Denver. He was a nervous, brooding, suspicious, solitary kid, given to uncontrollable temper tantrums when crossed. He had no friends at all. He shunned little girls in particular, and the aversion was mutual. They made fun of his shyness, his awkwardness, his jug ears, his weak eyes, his nervous tics and his stutter and he hated them for it.

    Harvey hasn’t said much about his childhood, but what little he has said is revealing. He admits he has been fascinated by ropes, knots and nooses as far back as he can remember. It seems to me I’ve always had a piece of rope in my hands, he said. His mother confirms that he de-lighted in tying himself up with string at the age of three.

    Another thing that always has intrigued him is guns. And since he was ten years old, Harvey says, he has been dis-turbed by thoughts of death – specifically of suicide.

    In his early teens, sex, as it does to most men, came to Harvey Glatman. But, being Harvey Glatman, he didn’t follow the usual teenage routine of going out on bashful dates with the giggling girls at school. Young Harvey was desperately eager to explore the forbidden secrets of sex, but not in a normal way. Girls to him were a world apart; mysterious, fascinating, fragile creatures so far above him that he was unworthy even to talk to them, much less touch them. In their presence he was miserably paralyzed by a sense of inferiority and inadequacy. Harvey wanted girls – he desired them to the point where he couldn’t get them off his mind – but at the same time he hated and resented them for what he considered their superiority and aloofness.

    For a long time he contented himself with eyeing girls covertly, spying on them from a distance and indulging in erotic fantasies. He never went to parties or dances. He didn’t even engage in bawdy talk or crack dirty jokes with the other boys, and this gave him the reputation of being a goody-goody. His schoolmates didn’t know about the lewd girlie magazines and the obscene photos he pored over breathlessly in the privacy of his
