Description:

For those of you who have watched, or read, any of the Hannibal series by Thomas Harris, gather round!

Let's celebrate our favorite cannibal. Well, not that part of him. But we all know he's so much more than that. As the back cover of 'Hannibal' says, he is a "gentleman, genius, cannibal."

Regardless of his questionable actions, Hannibal's letters have a very distinct form. They read like something from the Victorian area, and we'd all be lying if we said we didn't wish people still wrote like this. So let's give it a try!

If you need inspiration, see especially the novels "The Silence of the Lambs" and "Hannibal" for example letters. You can write your letter to Clarice, or to your partner directly. Be creative!

I hope to make this a series including James Joyce, Sherlock Holmes, Emerson, Mario Puzo and many more! Suggestions welcome.

Oh, and I'm excited for the Sherlock Holmes one!!!

Here's a link to the famous letter at the end of Silence of the Lambs if you need to refer to it/take a look at it.

This is awesome. If I can make up something I'm proud of I'll join closer to sign up. Wonderful idea, I've probably read the books 10 times each.
