Elements of the novel were incorporated into the second season of the NBC television series Hannibal, while the show's third season adapted the plot of the novel. This chilling novel delves into the origins of one of the most infamous literary villains of all time.

Many readers feel dissatisfied with the ending, along with the ‘mismatched’ character arcs of certain characters.Elements of the novel are featured in the NBC television series Hannibal, which features Mads Mikkelsen as Lecter, as well as Hugh Dancy as Red Dragon character Will Graham, who appears as the protagonist instead of Starling.

Seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. Nothing happened to make Lecter a cannibal, unless you count that time Nazi deserters ate his sister.Author Stephen King, a fan of the series, has said that he considers Hannibal to be one of the two most frightening popular novels of modern times, the other being The Exorcist. When in the head of Hannibal, the story is at its most intriguing, not just because the character is done so well (he is), but because it seems Harris finds firmer footing.
