Red Dragon | Thomas Harris (BCA Edition)

Mooi collectors item, een hardcover versie en het debuut van horror icon Hannibal Lecter. Dit is een speciale boekclub editie in de originele Engelse taal.

Het is vintage en gebruikt, maar wel zoals een gelezen thriller hoort te voelen. De persoonlijke inscriptie met datum op de eerste bladzijde geeft het boek een typische “gelezen in de jaren ’80” vibe dat ik als verzamelaar mooi vind. Het feit dat het een gewild en gewaardeerd boek was geeft deze specifieke kopie karakter. Een aanrader voor fans van horror, verzamelaars van vintage boeken, en voor degene die de Hannibal verhalen in de originele taal willen lezen.

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.
