About the Book

NBC's Hannibal only lasted for three seasons but became a critical darling and quickly inspired a ravenous fanbase. Bryan Fuller's adaptation of Hannibal Lecter's adventures created a new set of fans and a cult audience through its stunning visuals, playful characters, and mythical tableaus of violence that doubled as works of art. The show became a nexus point for viewers that explored consumption, queerness, beauty, crime, and the meaning of love through a lens of blood and gore. Much like the show, this collection is a love letter to America's favorite cannibal, celebrating the multiple ways that Hannibal expanded the mythology, food culture, fandom, artistic achievements, and religious symbolism of the work of Thomas Harris. Primarily focusing on Hannibal, this book combines interviews and academic essays that examine the franchise, its evolution, creatively bold risks, and the art of creating a TV show that consumed the hearts and minds of its audience.

Review :
“[Moody and Yanes] have now fused their scholarly interests with pop culture fixation in a new book that examines one of the most adored, yet short-lived shows of the past ten years.”— USA Today “Groundbreaking scholarship…one-of-a kind academic articles and interviews”—Daily Dead “For fans or new fans, these essays will make you think about what the show’s storytelling and representation really mean”—ScifiPulse “Sink your teeth into Hannibal for Dinner…brings together a collection of academic articles and interviews diving into the legacy of Hannibal. The book explores the franchise, the bold and creative risks it took, its evolution, and more”—Nerds and Beyond “combines academic and insider production perspectives…a book Fannibals can sink their teeth into...a tasty treat that will engross the curious, the fan base and most likely entice those addicted to true crime stories.”—The Monster in My Head “A delectable taster for general audiences and academics alike, great for dinnertime conversations of all type”—Promote Horror “much like the show, this collection is a love letter to America’s favorite cannibal”—American Studies “A deep rumination on a show I’m really proud of. For fans or new fans, these essays will make you think about what the show’s storytelling and representation really mean. Fannibals or even those new to Hannibal will find analysis and commentary that makes them think differently and more deeply about the show. A lot to savor here.”—Martha De Laurentiis, Executive Producer of Hannibal
