Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal's journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero.

This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novelĀ Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann'sĀ ManhunterĀ and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award-winningĀ TheĀ Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV seriesĀ 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,Ā Hannibal Lecter: A LifeĀ 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 past - including actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John Douglas - Hannibal Lecter: A LifeĀ is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time.
