Reply to comment by claimingthemoorland in Red Dragon by Thomas Harris is a perfectly okay thriller with a gem of a sex scene of the darkest shade of violence. by claimingthemoorland

Does the book have all the erotic subtext between Hannibal and Graham that the show does (and that before I watched it I thought fanfiction authors totally made up)?

Not one bit. The prime aspect of their relationship is of fear, from Graham's perspective and of intellectual curiosity and obsession (in a revenge kind of way) from Hannibal's. Every time Graham shows up to talk to the doctor, Levter continually brings up how Graham might have captured him.

I enjoy relationships based upon fear in my fiction. Maybe I’ll give it a try.
