Thomas Harris is the man we all have to thank for the gripping storyline that lies at the very heart of Manhunter. The original novel, titled 'Red Dragon' is an intense story which be remembered for all time as the one which introduced the world to the chilling character of Doctor Hannibal Lector.
Harris has now published four novels - his first was 'Black Sunday' and the other three are the Hannibal Lector trilogy ('Red Dragon', 'The Silence of the Lambs' and 'Hannibal')
Ive never read black sunday but read the other three. I thought the red dragon was the scraiest book I have ever read...does anyone else like Thomas Harris and which of the books would you say is the best?
All the ways you wish you could be, that's me. I look like you wanna look, I **** like you wanna ****, I am smart, capable, and most importantly, I am free in all the ways that you are not.
BKK i was going to make the same thread but you one step ahead of me i think Thomas Harris is great. i mostly liked SOTL and Red Dragon. still haven't read Hannibal. but saw movie.

no no not better than either the red dragon or silence of the lambs.
its funny though I read hannial and was totally freaked(in a good way)by the ending..you know I hear that the book is why jodie foster didnt come back..lol
well book wise the red dragon definatly was the best! I recommed it to every one who like horror books...sotl movie was better than the red dragon movie to me though
i think 'Hannibal' is the best book by T.H, i read this book in 2 days i could not put it down.
I hope T.H. writes a book of Lecters life as a child/teenadult. I have not heard anything. I just heard they are planning to make a movie but no book(yet).
I am with you BK..... i have not read Black Sunday. What is it about, do you know??

black sunday was before the lecter books and he's not a part of it it's a story of a terrorist plot to detonate plastic explosives from a blimp during the Super Bowl. thats all I know...
wow that would be great! thats the first Ive heard of that! didnt Hannibal start out the same way...was conceived as a movie then t.h. set to task to write the book..Im not sure thats the rumor I heard. if so then we should get our hands on a pre-teen lecture before it hits theaters
Personally Black Sunday sounds boring but maybe i am wrong. Sounds like something from "the Simpsons" (i think there was an episode like that)
i do not remember where i heard there will be a movie about kid/teen/youngadult Lecter i think it was E! or some show of that nature. I would prefer the book .......but i can't be choosey ( i would welcome either).
