Title: Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter
Author: Seth Grahame-Smith
Pages: 336
Genre: Historical Fiction
Grade: B+
Synopsis: Abraham Lincoln has gone down in history as an excellent President and a strong leader. He guided the country through the emancipation of the slaves and the civil war. What is less well-known about his history is his personal reasons for fighting slavery so boldly. Abraham's mother was killed by a vampire in his youth (although he didn't find out the truth until he was much older). Once he did, he dedicated his life to the eradication of vampires, many of whom would prey on slaves.
My Review: This book is not for everybody. Written in a similar style as Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, the book intricately weaves Abraham's fight against vampires into his biography. I really enjoyed it and found myself often thinking, what if...? All the while learning about our 16th President.
