Dragon Rouge | Thomas Harris (Édition BCA)

Un bel objet de collection, une version cartonnée et les débuts de l'icône de l'horreur Hannibal Lecter. Il s'agit d'une édition spéciale de club de lecture dans la langue anglaise originale.

Il est vintage et usagé, mais il a l'aspect qu'un thriller lu devrait avoir. L'inscription personnelle avec la date sur la première page donne au livre une ambiance typique "lu dans les années 80" que j'apprécie en tant que collectionneur. Le fait que ce soit un livre recherché et apprécié donne du caractère à cette copie spécifique. Un must pour les fans d'horreur, les collectionneurs de livres vintage, et ceux qui veulent lire les histoires d'Hannibal dans la langue originale.

Red Dragon [Thomas Harris]

Originele Engelse versie/original version

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.
