Abraham Lincoln
Vampire Hunter
By Seth Grahame-Smith
Published by Corsair, 21 April 2011
Paperback, £7.99
Forget Buffy, Bella or Van Helsing – it was Abraham Lincoln who tamed the world of Vampires. From the author who brought you the best-selling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies comes another brilliant genre mash-up, this time about one of the world’s most renowned heroes: Abraham Lincoln. Known for his remarkable presidency, this book introduces you to the lesser known, darker exploits of the great American leader.
For over 250 years, between 1607 and 1865, vampires thrived in the shadows of America. Few humans believed in them. What few humans also know is that Abraham Lincoln was the most gifted vampire hunter of his day, and kept a secret journal about his war against them. Rumours of the journal’s existence have long been a favourite topic among historians and Lincoln biographers. Most dismiss it as myth.
Through the extraordinary discovery of Abraham Lincoln’s previously unknown and long lost journals, Seth Grahame-Smith brings to life the Great Emancipator’s untold history – his lifelong pursuit of the immortal un-dead. With unparalleled daring, Seth re-writes Abraham Lincoln’s biography to include this significant and gory piece of US history.
Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter features all the detail, colour, and readability of Team of Rivals – Barack Obama’s favourite book and the number one bestselling Lincoln biography – with only some of the historical accuracy (and thrilling new scenes of vampire combat). From Lincoln’s Frontier childhood to his assassination, this richly re-imagined history gives new meaning to the moments of an already incredible life.
