A killer like Dr. Hannibal Lecter always
has his fans – damaged creatures who wallow in the details
of his sensationally brutal crimes. The mere fact of his existence
thrills them, and the outrage and cold sweat he provokes in
“weaker” mortals sustain them as they trudge through
lonely, bitter lives.
For these misfits, Lecter is a superior
being. They are certain that he possesses the rare capacity
to perceive them as they perceive themselves, and to respect
the absolute necessity of their own depraved acts. Lecter
appreciates their devotion, especially now. He’s had
too few diversions since taking up residence at the Baltimore
State Hospital for the Criminally Insane.
