This book examines how the iconic character Hannibal Lecter has been revised and redeveloped across different screen media texts.

Hannibal The Cannibal Lecter has become one of Western culture's most influential and enduring models of monstrosity since his emergence in 1981 in Red Dragon, Thomas Harris' first Lecter book. Lecter is now at the centre of an extensive cross-mediated mythology, the most recent incarnation of which is Bryan Fuller's television program, Hannibal (NBC, 2013-2015). This acclaimed series is the focus of Hannibal Lecter's Forms, Formulations, and Transformations, which examines how Fuller's program harnesses the iconic character to experiment with traditional boundaries of genre, medium, taste, and narrative form. Featuring chapters from established and emerging screen and popular culture scholars from around the world, the book outlines how the show operates as a striking experiment with televisual form and formula. The book also explores how this experimentation is embodied by the boundary-defying character, the savage cannibalistic serial killer, practicing psychiatrist, and cultured art enthusiast, Hannibal Lecter.
