This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Awardwinning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal. It also dives into the untold life and career of Harris, the secretive bestselling author whose passion for reporting, eye for grisly detail, and connections to the FBI helped birth not only Lecter, but also the modern true-crime genre. Along the way, Hannibal Lecter: A Life documents the many ways Lecter's rise reflected America's ever-growing obsession with real-life serial killers.
Featuring all-new interviews with crucial figures from Lecter's pastincluding actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John DouglasHannibal Lecter: A Life is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time.

A Cannibal’s journey from a terrifying villain to an adored antihero, which took many years to fulfil. It’s a must-read for everyone who has read the book or seen the film The Silence of the Lambs. Because this book adds some in-depth insights and material that aren’t known otherwise.
But be aware that this collection of interviews, among other interesting facts, is not for the faint-hearted.
I wasn’t aware of how the figure of Hannibal Lecter had such an impact on future creations of films and series, even to this day. Enjoy might be the wrong word here to use, but I found it interesting how Thomas Harris came to create The Silence of the Lambs and the following sequels, behind the scenes or the research that went into it. Knowing those facts now might give an interesting twist when watching the films or reading the books again.
