From Page to Scream

Okey dokey! We're still in the world of Thomas Harris as we discuss his 1999 novel 'Hannibal', and Ridley Scott's 2001 film adaptation of the same name. In the first part of our discussion on the divisive sequel to The Silence of the Lambs, we're discussing Dr Lecter's new life in Florence as 'Dr Fell', analysing the avarice of Commendatore Pazzi, and giving very serious thought to eating his wife... 🍽️

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Hannibal Lecter's on-screen debut in Michael Mann's 'Manhunter', we're diving into Thomas Harris's 1981 novel, Red Dragon, and its multiple adaptations... Do you see?

In the second part of our discussion of Stephen King's vampire masterpiece, we're discussing the evil that lurks beneath the town of Jerusalem's Lot!

This book has ben chosen for us to deep dive by podcaster and author, Erik Hanson, who joins us to explain why 'Salem's Lot is his favourite vampire novel!
