What this book is about
Seth Grahame-Smith's horror-history mashup presents Abraham Lincoln's life as a secret campaign against vampires who have allied themselves with the Southern slave power. The novel uses Lincoln's actual biography as its skeleton, weaving vampire hunting into the historical record with genuine attention to the period. Graphic vampire violence is frequent, and the connection between vampirism and slavery gives the novel a sharper edge than its premise might suggest. More violent and substantive than the title implies.
