About this listen
Invite Hannibal Lecter into the palace of your mind and be invited into his mind palace in turn. Note the similarities in yours and his, the high vaulted chambers of your dreams, the shadowed halls, the locked storerooms where you dare not go, the scrap of half-forgotten music, the muffled cries from behind a wall.
In one of the most eagerly anticipated literary events of the decade, Thomas Harris takes us once again into the mind of a killer, crafting a chilling portrait of insidiously evolving evil - a tour de force of psychological suspense.
Seven years have passed since Dr. Hannibal Lecter escaped from custody, seven years since FBI Special Agent Clarice Starling interviewed him in a maximum security hospital for the criminally insane. The doctor is still at large, pursuing his own ineffable interests, savoring the scents, the essences of an unguarded world. But Starling has never forgotten her encounters with Dr. Lecter, and the metallic rasp of his seldom-used voice still sounds in her dreams.
Mason Verger remembers Dr. Lecter, too, and is obsessed with revenge. He was Dr. Lecter's sixth victim, and he has survived to rule his own butcher's empire. From his respirator, Verger monitors every twitch in his worldwide web. Soon he sees that to draw the doctor, he must have the most exquisite and innocent-appearing bait; he must have what Dr. Lecter likes best.
Powerful, hypnotic, utterly original, Hannibal is a dazzling feast for the imagination. Prepare to travel to hell and beyond as a master storyteller permanently alters the world you thought you knew.

Hannibal Lecter emerges from the nightmare of the Eastern Front, a boy in the snow, mute, with a chain around his neck. He seems utterly alone, but he has brought his demons with him. Hannibal’s uncle, a noted painter, finds him in a Soviet orphanage and brings him to France, where Hannibal will live with his uncle and his uncle’s beautiful and exotic wife, Lady Murasaki. But Hannibal’s demons visit him and torment him. When he is old enough, he visits them in turn. He discovers he has gifts beyond the academic, and in that epiphany, Hannibal Lecter becomes death’s prodigy.

A new girl has moved in next door—a girl who has never seen a Rubik’s Cube before, but who can solve it at once. There is something wrong with her, though, something odd.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

chilling
I have read this a couple times before and I still have enjoyed the strange oddity of what the author in getting to. I have read Silence of the lambs and otothers and I truly am thrilled by the horror of the content as it is always good to think beyond the box of the normal mind

Brilliant fiction!
I sought this book out after seeing the movie and I’m happy to say that it exceeded my expectations. I’ve listened to this story 3 times since I purchased it and not because I didn’t get it or got lost the first time round.
The author managed to convey the terrifying disposition of the story’s main character, Dr. Hannibal Lector, through the written (and spoken) word brilliantly.
The story is full of twists, suspense and interesting sub characters. The first time I read it, I just couldn’t put it down and near finished the entire book during one sitting. This is another one of those books that I cant recommend highly enough. If you enjoy horror and suspense fiction, then I doubt you’ll be disappointed with this book.

Hannibal always get's his man!!!!
Agent Clarice Starling is on the ropes in this book. She has punches coming from all angles. The one person she can count on is Dr Lector but this time Hannibal is on the run from a long time patient from his past. The book is good but the movie was better this time!!!

Im pissed
I LOVE THIS BOOK. THE REAL BOOK. I LOVE THOMAS HARRIS. These are the reasons im giving the book 3 stars because I want to give the recording less. The audio is of poor quality and they cut quite a few parts which wasn't necessary. I wanted the whole story. The part of the book where Hannibal wakes from a nightmare on the plane was important as well as losing the box of food on the plane, how he lost it, how he reacted. It shows he is still a human, and is very much in control of his own actions. That entire section is very important for framing Hannibal out, and yet it was cut. Also, as much as I admire and truely love Thomas Harris, I had a very difficult time with the accent. It was like Clarice was reading the book, which is great in the parts with her in it, but it makes the parts in Italy difficult. It wasn't terrible, but the Man who read the Silence of the Lambs for Audible, Frank Mueller( may be spelled Muller, im not.100% sure) did and EXCELLENT job with the different accents. I'd love to purchase a recording of someone with a good range reading this book. If you could get Anthony Hopkins to do it I'd pay triple! He could read it and that the entire range of difficult accents and languages! He did for the movies, I know it'd be expensive to have him do it, but it would be so worth it! The content is wonderful. Quite Literally my favorite book, I'm just upset that this recording cut important info, and also the sound quality is bad with a kind of metallic echo in it.

A most excellent story very well written.
The story itself is a compelling one that draws a person in completely and with deep satisfaction. Each character is deeply interesting with an existence rivaling reality. The audio quality and prevention has always been a treasure for me for many years now and I hope for many more as I revisit it like an old friend from time to time.
