Very excited to share the cover for my next book, HANNIBAL LECTER: A LIFE, coming in February from Simon & Schuster! It's about how Thomas Harris created one of the most beloved bad guys of all time, and a look at the making of such hits as THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, MANHUNTER, and NBC's HANNIBAL.

My next podcast for The Ringer launches Aug. 12th! MISSION ACCOMPLISHED examines the making of 12 great 2000s movies, and chronicles how Hollywood and America changed during the Bush years. Expect new filmmaker interviews + fun behind-the-scenes tales + plenty of early-21st century lunacy.
