Genre/Categories: Nonfiction; Cultural history; Biography; True crime/media studies
The book is the first comprehensive biography of Hannibal Lecter, tracing his evolution from a minor character in Thomas Harris’s 1981 novel Red Dragon to a terrifying villain in The Silence of the Lambs (1991, starring Anthony Hopkins), and a cult antihero in the 2013–2015 TV series Hannibal. Raftery also profiles Harris’s secretive life, his FBI connections, and his role in pioneering the modern true‑crime genre.
It explores how Lecter’s popularity mirrors America’s obsession with real serial killers, featuring exclusive interviews with Brian Cox (Manhunter), Michael Mann, John Douglas (FBI profiler), and others, plus unseen archival materials. Raftery delivers a “deeply reported, wildly entertaining” look at the making of a beloved bad guy.
