This collection is an ode to the Film ‘Manhunter’, a 1986 crime-thriller that introduced the world the character of Hannibal Lector. The movie follows the seemingly unwell detective, Will Graham, who is called back from his self-imposed exile to track down a killer so elusive, his identity seems untraceable. This is no ordinary manhunter; Graham, himself, is haunted by the memory of the man he once hunted down himself, Dr. Hannibal Lecter, whose twisted influence still lurks in his mind; blurring the line between sanity and madness.

The killer he is now tasked with seeking, a shadowy figure known only as The Tooth Fairy, is no mere murderer. His method is meticulous, artistic even, leaving behind a trail of cryptic messages and bloody symbolism. His obsession runs deep, each crime a part of a greater, unspoken purpose. As Graham delves deeper into the abyss, he finds himself drawn into a psychological tug-of-war with a man whose motives are as enigmatic as his face—never fully seen, and never understood.

The closer Graham gets, the more his own sense of reality fractures. Every encounter with the killer’s dark creations and cryptic clues pulls him further into a vortex of obsession and danger. The hunt becomes not just for justice, but for the ultimate truth: what drives a man to such violence? And what price must one pay to understand it? In this game of intellect and genuine horror, no one is truly innocent, and no one walks away unscathed. The hunter and the hunted are intertwined in ways that simply have no answers, leaving an unsettling question hanging in the air: Is it possible to catch a predator without becoming one yourself?
