Hello everyone. I recently watched The Silence of Lambs for the first time and loved it. After that, i started looking into other parts of adaptations of Thomas Harris' works and the works themselves, like snippets from Manhunter and Fiennes' performance in Red Dragon, and i got really interested in Francis Dollarhyde's character and the imagery of the "Great Red Dragon", just by reading quick notes about the character online.

I would like to check more into about the universe by myself, but i'm divided between watching "Manhunter", "Red Dragon" or just reading the first book as a my first impressions of it. Sure, it may seem more suitable to just read Red Dragon, but i'm sucker for screenplays and would love to see this character acted, but i'm hesitant that my first impressions could be tainted by possible poor adaptation or poor performance. From a scene a saw of Lecter online, Manhunter seems to be pretty good, so, can i start from there?

Thanks for the time.

I made up a packet with Hannibal movie film strips

I know the financial incentive probably not there after the successes of the books and films. And I really don’t think 10 Lecter books would be any good. But he is such a good writer with such an immersive world, I wish he wrote other books. He is so sporadic.

Is he one of those writers that actually doesn’t like writing (I’m thinking of Douglas Adams) or did was he happy with his output as is?
