Seth Grahame-Smith follows up his successful Pride and Prejudice and Zombies with a look at a previously unknown side to the 16th President of these United States, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Grahame-Smith's novel explores Lincoln's life through a prism of "what if..." and shines a light that shows how the existence of vampires helped shape the life of the rail-splitter from Illinois, from childhood to his presidency. Grahame-Smith also includes some "evidence" of the existence of vampires during Lincoln's time, including photographs of the President with vampires nearby, as well as shots of him with his trusty ax, his weapon of choice to off the bloodsuckers, by his side.
Another interesting turn by the co-writer of the aforementioned Pride and Prejudice and Zombies available now for checkout on the "New Books" shelves beside the circulation desk.
