When it comes to Hannibal Lecter, I’m like one of those music hipster douche bags that everyone hates because I’ll snootily declare that I knew about him long before most people did and that he’s sucked ever since he got really famous. ![]() Like him, the murderer is a ruthless hunter, already beginning his search for Will Graham. And in one terrifying respect he is right. In a chilling race against time, Graham searches desperately after Dolarhyde, always conscious that he and the killer are, at some fundamental level, alike.

Will Graham has a fearful gift – a talent for the pursuit of human monsters. ![]()
