Novel
Indiana, 1818. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that
surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his
suffering mother's bedside. She's been stricken with something the old-timers
call "Milk Sickness.""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 Union 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....
