El Dragón Rojo | Thomas Harris (Edición BCA)

Un hermoso objeto de colección: una versión en tapa dura y el debut del icono del horror Hannibal Lecter. Esta es una edición especial de club de lectura en el idioma inglés original.

Es un ejemplar vintage y usado, pero tal y como debe sentirse un thriller ya leído. La dedicatoria personal con fecha en la primera página le otorga al libro esa típica vibra de "leído en los años 80" que, como coleccionista, me encanta. El hecho de que fuera un libro codiciado y valorado le da carácter a esta copia en particular. Muy recomendable para fans del horror, coleccionistas de libros antiguos y para quienes deseen leer las historias de Hannibal en su idioma original.

Red Dragon [Thomas Harris]

Versión original en inglés

Will Graham has a fearful gift – a talent for the pursuit of human monsters. He has caught two mass murderers in his F.B.I. Career. Now he must hunt again.

A ritual murderer has struck twice, killing entire families in two south-eastern cities. Graham must find him before the moon is full again or another family will die

Graham's keen empathy permits him – sometimes forces him – to see the crimes from some haunting points of view. This ability and his forensic skills make him the prime threat to the murderer.

The killer, Francis Dolarhyde, is a terrible accident of nature, shaped by his early life into a monster. He's trying to work things out, though. So far his efforts have cost ten lives. He knows Will Gragam is coming. He intends to do something about that.

In a chilling race against time, Graham searches desperately after Dolarhyde, always conscious that he and the killer are, at some fundamental level, alike. And in one terrifying respect he is right. Like him, the murderer is a ruthless hunter, and he has already begun his search for Will Graham.
