(W) Seth Grahame-Smith
From the co-Author of Pride and Predjudice and Zombies! When
Abraham Lincoln was nine, his mother died from an ailment called
the "milk sickness." Only later did he learn that his mother's
deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire, seeking
to collect on Abe's father's debts. While Abraham Lincoln is widely
lauded for reuniting the North with the South and abolishing
slavery from our country, no one has ever understood his valiant
fight for what it really was. Using Lincoln's personal journal as
his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of David
McCullough, Grahame-Smith has reconstructed the true life story of
our greatest president for the first time--all while revealing the
hidden history behind the Civil War, and uncovering the massive
role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our
nation. B&W/352pg
