Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter


Seth Grahame-Smith

Book review

Essentially, the book is a biography of Abraham Lincoln, just add vampires. Seth Grahame-Smith, the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, weaves another fun tale of gore, blood and an axe-wielding president. And pretty much the plot is

Grahame-Smith, chronicling Honest Abe’s life with the same historic care of any well taught history class. The injection of the vampires is seamlessly. It all begins with Lincoln’s personal tragedy at a young age caused by, none other than, you guessed it, vampires! I found the more the book took itself seriously, the more I found the humor in the whole concept.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a book you will either love or hate, after all it is history. If every man has a secret, hunting vampires seems to be a bit cleaner than closet cross dressers, and the socially tabooed mistress. Grahame-Smith gives our 16th President a tall hat and an axe. So the future President vows to slaughter every vampire in the United States. The only problem, well Lincoln died at a fairly young age. ( spoiler alert.)

Oh, lets hope the movie is violent, bloody and an entertaining ride!

So read the book for yourself, this is my review what is yours….

　

Note**This book was recommended to me by my book brother A. Morrow. We share a love for books and  some very twisted views. Morrow is the smarter of the two of us, so I enjoy reading his picks. Over the years he has suggested some interesting authors and books.
