Dr Hannibal Lecter, former surgeon and psychiatrist, also known in Baltimore as the Chesapeake Ripper.

Hello Dr Lecter 

I am such a fan of your work. I just have a simple question and I’d be honored if you could give me answer. My question is how can I become like you ? How can I think like you ? Manipulate like you ? I admire your works. I hope you can forgive me if I disturbed you. Please stay happy and healthy.

Dear Doctor Lecter, as someone who also suffers from PTSD due to trauma in my childhood, how can you suggest dealing with it when medication fails to offer any demonstrable results and killing & eating people is legally problematic? Your ardent admirer, Deacon Rayne.

I would suggest a referal to a psychiatrist of impeccable taste, hiring a reputable lawyer, as well as enticing an accomplice "who's a snack", as people put it today. The latter is optional, but useful in more ways than one.

Dear Dr. Lecter I' am a big fan of your culinary skills you make it look like an art form I bet your dinner parties are very entertaining I' m also learning to cook on my own.

Cooking is indeed a form of art, and I applaude your choice of a hobby. Perhaps in time you ought to join me at one of my dinner parties to show off your level of... taste.

What does it mean if you’ve thought about a person every day since you met

[drlectersoffice]

In my experience, it means you wish to consume them.

[drlectersoffice]

It is not possible to say how much we owe you, and yet you seem to ask for nothing more from us...

If you desire to pay your respect to me, you shall live your life as who you are, and enjoy it fully.

It came to my knowledge that most pictures of me are taken by  passerby's and not by the FBI, which underlines both how inefficient the Bureau actually is, and how little Valentina and Angela care about not ending up on my menu.

i will return the courtesy my dear doctor i hope you won't make fun of me. the thing is i am considering asking someone out to watch a film or two, dance on a black-and-white checked floor and have a cup of tea afterwards.

ah yes i think i can provide one more detail here. that will involve a projector and blu-ray discs

As long as you do not forget your manners, the evening should be quite pleasant. I recommend playing Gregorio Allegri’s “Miserere Dei” at the end of dinner, and Anthony Hopkins’ “And The Waltz Goes On” for the dancing part.

may i ask u something personal? have you ever ask someone out to watch films about stephen hawking!??

The topic indeed came up, as I particularly enjoyed the acting in the 2004 BBC television film “Hawking”, that I shall recommend to you too. May I ask why you raise the subject?

[drlectersoffice]

I was informed some people here, there and here and there believe they have spotted me and my associate in Florence. I will let the FBI a chance to confirm it by themselves. If they still have the guts to stick their neck out to do so, that is.

[drlectersoffice]

On the contrary I believe we are similar in many ways. And we are the same things, we have the same hobbies. I think that we would make good friends.

I would love you sending me a token of your appreciation, then. As proof of your good faith. 

Since the last FBI agent who tried to lure me into revealing myself, I only answer to similar invitations with caution.

I was thinking about this the other day, doctor. How much do you enjoy your old neighbourhood or the States in general?

The United States of America are very vast, which is quite pleasant and slightly smells of freedom. However, the little European countries always delighted me with the grand variety of their cultures. 

What I miss the most about Baltimore are my caterers, whom I had had time to strictly select. A huge town implies a variety of catering services, which are hard to come by otherwise.

I also enjoyed watching the city lights reflected on the Chesapeake lake after a hunt at night. Sometimes I do think back about Virginia, and about loss. 

I do not miss the USA extremely.

Dear Dr. Lecter, It's good to finally see a glimpse of you. I wish you well. -Girl With A Dragon Tattoo

Dear one,

Escaping the FBI, although quite entertaining, also implies some constraints. I am afraid I do not have as much times on my hands as one could wish for. I however hope you are doing well, and wish you the best.

Regards,

H.

It has come to my knowledge that the FBI may finally have a lead concerning my whereabouts. I will therefore be waiting for them to join me under the bright skies of Palermo.

My regards to Mrs Crawford, Jack.

ARE YOU SHITTING ME???? Ö

Dear « misscocogot », 

I am not. 

Sincerely, 

Dr Hannibal Lecter, M.D.

Perhaps, but I don’t want to be your friend. 

[drlectersoffice]

sometimes i am ashamed and depressed because you are so perfect

Dear one, 

That you would look up to me and consider that I have reached perfection is indeed flattering. However, one can only experience dissatisfaction while comparing oneself to someone else, as people have different abilities and are shaped by different life experiences: you cannot be the best of another, only the best of yourself.

Consider how unique you are, and how much you bring to the world by the simple fact of your existence: it literally wouldn’t be the same without you in it. Without accomplishing a thing, you have already shaped the Universe, and are just as much a God in life as you will be nothing in death.

People tend to think accomplishments determine our worth, and that one is only deserving by reaching perfection, while life is in fact its own purpose and its own reward, far more valuable than any aim of sacrificial altruism, as precious in sludge that it is in starlight. 

Kind Regards, 

H.

Thank you for the gentle reminder, doctor. Oh yes, for Love and thoughts of the Glory to come...
