Abraham Lincoln, the 16th President of the United States, leader during
the American Civil War, signer of the Emancipation of Proclamation, and vampire
hunter.
“It had been another simple errand, another name on Henry’s
list. But this place was different. Extraordinary. Abe was on his knees,
certain he’d stumbled into some kind of vampire hive” (p. 163).
If we are to believe the fantastic, then it may be truth
that vampires exist and that through a series of events Abraham Lincoln chose to
become their hunter.
“It turns out that the towering myth of Honest Abe, the one
ingrained in our earliest grade school memories, is inherently dishonest.
Nothing more than a patchwork of half-truths and omissions” (p. 15).
Through journal entries and letters, Grahame-Smith explores
the fantastic life of America’s 16th president, Abraham Lincoln, the
vampire hunter.
