Get your dirty, stinking paws on this...

Did you know that Pierre Boulle, author of Bridge on the River Kwai, also wrote Planet of the Apes? Considered by many to be one of the best dystopian novels of the twentieth century, the novel inspired seven movies, three television shows and countless other pop culture creations. Check out the book to see how both the 1968 & 2001 films differ from Boulle's self-described "social fantasy." The book is available on the New Book shelves.

A side to Abraham Lincoln unknown 'til now.

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.
