Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter By Seth Grahame-Smith
So I just finished This book and I have to be honest, I didn't think that this book was going to be good. In fact, I thought that this was just a movie since I've been seeing previews for the movie, it wasn't until I was at my Dad's house that my Step-Mom was telling me that it was a really good book. Now In all the years that I've known my step-mom I never heard her talk about the book the way she was talking about this one. So I knew I had to give it a go.
The basis of the story starts off when young Abe found out that it was vampires that killed his mother, not sickness. Because of that he grew a hatred towards the vampires and vows to hunt and kill every last one of them. The story follows his life from childhood to his assasination. The author ties in actual historical facts with the fiction of vampire mythology so seamlessly that you find yourself enthralled into the story and believe the tale.
While there is so many different vampire stories out there, this one finds a spot in the vampire genre that suits it. The Author was able to bring in the facts of Abraham Lincoln's life into the book and weave a tail that was very captavating. I had a hard time putting the book down once I started reading in and spent a lot of late nights (early mornings) reading this book.
Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is a different story than all of the vampires tales out there. While the vampires in a sense are more traditional, they story itself is different. It ties in historical facts with fiction that will keep you interested until the story is over.
