--Tim Appelo. He's obsessed with William Blake's bizarre painting The Great Red Dragon and the Woman Clothed with the Sun, believing there's a red dragon within him, the personification of his demonic drives. That killer, Francis Dolarhyde, works in a film lab, where he picks his victims by studying their home movies. The sleuth, Will Graham, actually quit the FBI after nearly getting killed by Lecter while nabbing him, but fear isn't what bugs him about crime busting. But he comes back to stop a madman who's been butchering entire families. Flashbacks to Dolarhyde's terrifying childhood and superb stream-of-consciousness prose get us right there inside his head. It's just too creepy to get inside a killer's twisted mind. If you haven't read it, you've never had the creeps. But Lecter is a clever fiend, and he manipulates both Graham and the killer at large from his cell. This book is awesomely detailed, ingenio

The start the of the modern serial killer thriller is here. Michael Beverly I read a lot of thrillers and I'm generally disappointed. Many of them, most probably, I don't bother to review.This one set the standard for the modern serial killer thriller novel and it's a great book. Granted, Silence of the Lambs is a better book, but this one is great.All that said, Hannibal was so horrid I cannot bring myself to think about it. I never even read the last installment because I was so sad over the loss of good story telling that was foisted upon me with the third installment of the Hannibal series.Oddly, Harris didn't write Hannibal Lector as a charac
