"My baby boy..." she whispers before dying.
Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire.
When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.
While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years.
Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth 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 role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Evocative...Grahame-Smith [is] a lively, fluent writer with a sharp sense of tone and pace."―TIME
"Thanks to P&P&Z, a delicious mutant book craze was born. But then opportunists infested the territory...It's nice to see plucky Grahame-Smith retake his turf."―Entertainment Weekly
"Not just the Lincoln biography we've all been waiting for. It's also the funniest, most action-packed and weirdly well-researched account of the Civil War you'll probably read in a long time. Grahame-Smith could be poised to become the Howard Zinn of vampire-related alterna-history."―Vanity Fair
"Grahame-Smith does an excellent job of capturing the spirit of this style of story-telling, mixing historically accurate anecdotes with entries from Lincoln's fictional secret journal, weaving the vampire elements into the story in a manner that's quite believable."―Wired

It basically does what Graham-Smith seems to be really good at - which is mashing up the genres and coming up with something totally original in the meantime. It's part biography (and I'm not an expert, but I'm guessing that some of the diary extracts are truly attributed to Lincoln, as are the speeches) but they've been tampered with to fit with Graham-Smith's creation of a character of Lincoln as the legendary vampire hunter of his age, part (obviously) fiction.
And, it's great fiction. This isn't just thrown together - a lot of thought, planning and polish has gone into this. As a result, Graham-Smith has created characters which are well-rounded and brilliantly realised. Lincoln is fantastic as the troubled, almost reluctant hero of the tale, Henry is fabulous as the mysterious, sexy Vampire with a heart. The narrative style is consistent throughout, pulls you in and keeps you wanting more right to the very end. And what an end! (It leaves it open for a sequel - and how I hope there's a sequel in the offing!)
I loved this - I've not seen the film and don't know how it translates to the big screen, but I shall definitely watch it now. I'm so glad I read it first though. Graham-Smith's books are always a treat.
I thought the story was very imaginative and original. I also thought it was very well written and keeps you drawn into the story until the very end, and it is a deffinate page turner.
I thought that this book has brought the vampire genre in a way back into the limelight after the "twilight" episode. This book has restored my faith in vampire related books.
I would defiantly reccomend this book if you are a big fan of vampires/ zombies that are or have been infuriated by all of the teenage "twilight" copies out there
It has been wonderful to find a book that bucks that tread and is aimed at adults rather than teenagers.
This is a great twist on a biography, and has been so well thought out and reseached. I loved the way that vampires were blamed for the American Civil war and how they fitted so well into the history of the country. I am not American so I don't know a huge amount about American History, so I cannot comment on the accuracy anyway, which I supposed helped me immerse into the story well.
I think it explained about Mr Lincoln's childhood and showed what an impressive man he became in real life. He came from such a modest family and achieved so much. It is inspiring to hear what an uneducated man can achieve.
I read the free sample on my kindle and I loved it from the start and I was so happy to see it went to only 99p when I finished the sample, as I was desperate to get on in the book. It outlines his youth, which in itself was interesting, and then when the vampire angle was added, it just got much more exciting, and I struggled to put my kindle down!
I would seriously recommend this to any fans of vampires / zombies etc, that are infuriated by all of the teenage 'Twilight' copies out there.
