Hannibal Rising

Discover the origins of Hannibal Lecter in Thomas Harris' "Hannibal Rising." Dive into the chilling backstory of literature's most infamous villain.

Hannibal Rising

Author: Thomas Harris

Delving into the twisted origins of one of literature’s most infamous villains, “Hannibal Rising” unveils the haunting childhood of Dr. Lecter. Harris’s prose is as chilling as ever, painting a vivid portrait of post-war Europe and the trauma that shaped a monster. I found myself oddly sympathetic to young Hannibal, even as I recoiled at his descent into darkness. The novel’s exploration of revenge and the human psyche left me pondering long after the final page.

I have followed with enthusiasm the course of your disgrace and public shaming.
