Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
Reading Level: 6.9
AR Points: 15
After Abe's mother dies of "Milk-Sickness", he learns that she was really the victim of vampires, due to his father's negligence. Vowing to kill all the vampires in America, he fights for the rest of his life against this elusive enemy. Mixing history with horror, this book "explains" not only Lincoln's decisions, but also the reasons behind the Civil War.
My husband, disturbingly enough, LOVED this book, which is funny since he won't watch a scary movie. I love history and horror, so I knew it would be entertaining for me. It contains "photographic evidence" of the vampire plague, which is fun, and also "excerpts" from Lincoln's diary for authenticity. ***** 5 Fanged Stars
