Let’s Booktalk: Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

from Goodreads

Abraham Lincoln, the 16^th  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 16^th president, Abraham Lincoln, the vampire hunter.
