Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter

"Forget almost everything you've ever learned about Abraham Lincoln and his life. Sure, he was the 16th President of The United States who led the nation through the Civil War. But that was only a front for what he really was: a hunter and killer of vampires!"

So begins a review of a book I have been enjoying immensely. I needed to take a break from the Stuart Woods binge I have been on for the past few months, focusing on Stone Barrington and Ed Eagle, only two of the several characters about which he writes an ongoing series. The man's literary output per year is absolutely unbelievable.

Anyway, the book first mentioned is written by Seth Grahame-Smith and it is, seriously, titled, "Abraham Lincoln:Vampire Hunter." Grahame-Smith also authored last year's surprise best-seller, "Pride And Prejudice And Zombies" in which he re-imagined the classic novel by Jane Austen to include killer zombies.(I can't wait to see what this guys is working on next.)

Anyway, here is a great review I found on a blog I have bookmarked, The Abraham Lincoln Blog, written by
GEOFFREY M. ELLIOTT, of NORTH CANTON, OHIO. Here is a brief bio he penned about himself: "The life of Abraham Lincoln has been my passion for nearly my entire life. I've read about and studied him for more than 40 years. I am an avocational historian, which means that my occupation is not in the history field."

And here, he was kind enough to provide a list of salient facts in the book, noting if they are fact or fiction (spoiler alert!).
