ABOUT THIS BOOK

HE IS ONE OF THE MOST HAUNTING CHARACTERS
IN ALL OF LITERATURE.

AT LAST THE EVOLUTION OF HIS EVIL
IS REVEALED.

Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck.

All the people who are getting exercised about the Simon & Schuster POD rights controversy would do better to direct their attention in this direction. To my mind, the popularity of books like this, that simply glorify evil, is a far more serious problem than a trifling Kabuki play about eminently negotiable rights.
