Thomas Harris's, 'Silence Of The Lambs'... Now the truth is, is that I kind of believe that this movie series/TV series/Novel, and more directly, 'Dr. Hannibal Lecter' maybe one of the most scariest antagonists of modern horror! As a matter of fact I would say that, 'Dr. Lecter' is to the world of horror, what Universal's monsters were back 40,50,60 years before the first novel came out!
Now at some point I do want to talk about the movie series and it's importance to the world of horror, but in this case I actually want to talk about the original novel by, 'Thomas Harris'... The truth is, is this novel is truly incredible! You see this novel which tells a similar story as to the movie (a story about a junior agent who ends up working with a brilliant psychotic, 'Psychiatrist' to take down a serial killer that is currently hunting for pray) was an amazing work of fiction!

What I mean by this is that if you liked the movie, then you will really like the novel, it expands on the chilling universe that Thomas Harris had researched using information from actual serial killer cases from the FBI!
In the end, I truly didn't think it would be possible to out due the movie... (I mean besides the fact that this movie is award winning, it is also a personal favorite of mine...) The truth is, is it did! And you know what? Give it a try, if you don't like it... Well such is life, but give it a try, and you might find that you like it as well!
