Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith


I've never thought of President Lincoln and Vampires in the same sentence. This book has an interesting concept and the author is very creative in blending fact and fiction. I almost want to believe in vampires and I think the author might be calling certain people vampires. Not just the vampire described as the undead but people who actually suck the life out of others. It was very easy for me to think of people that reminds me of vampires.

Grahame-Smith cares about slavery and the importance of the Civil War. He is very clever. Unfortunately I don’t know enough about Abraham Lincoln to differentiate enough fact from fiction. I do admire the style in which the author reminds us of the sacrifices that were made to make America a free country.

The book completely surprised me with the depth and seriousness it brings forward on Abraham Lincoln’s mission to abolish slavery. It will be interesting to see what they do with the movie version.
