Publisher Description

Indiana. 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 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.

"This book was good. However it took me a very long time to read this may be because of the bio information that the story is entwined within. I did really enjoy and would recommend to anyone of my different genre reading friends. Made me more than once sit and ponder the information."

— Kimberly (4 out of 5 stars)

    " I don't know why, but I thought this would be funny. Maybe because I thought it was such a preposterous plot. So, as long as I throw reason aside and not expect a laugh, it was still a fast-paced, interesting read. "

    " Although I liked the premise, I think I might have preferred a different format. The fake biography seemed a little dry and I didn't get into the action as much as I wanted to. It was a little too witty and not quite bloody enough. "

    " Trashy novelization of Lincoln's life if his entire existence and the civil war had been motivated by rampant vampirism. It was fun and diverting. Can't call it great, but it was an enjoyably escapist read. "

    " A fun easy read. I really enjoyed it. Although this is a work of fiction, since it is based on an actual historical figure and historical events, hopefully this book and others like it will bring a renewed interest in things such as history and anthropology to a new generation. "
