Bryan Fuller’s Dust Bunny has a surprising connection to Hannibal

But the other connection between Fuller’s film and Harris’ psychological horror series isn’t apparent until Fuller explains it. Dust Bunny follows a young girl, Aurora (Sophie Sloan), who hires her hit man neighbor to deal with the monster living under her bed after the creature eats her parents. The books follow Hannibal Lecter and the FBI agents in his orbit. Dust Bunny, despite its R rating and a fair number of character deaths, was made with children in mind. By contrast, Harris’ books feature one character eaten alive by pigs, and another vivisected and served his own brains as a meal.
