Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Now, I have done more reading since my last post, I've just been very busy in updating my blog with book reviews. I picked this one up at my local library, Grand Rapids Area Library, in Grand Rapids, Minnesota.

I really enjoyed this book. Grahame-Smith adds a spin to Abe... a certain amount of humor. Abe would make a good vampire hunter. This is my first book that I have read, and I know there is a term for this type of fiction, I enjoyed it. An excellent melding of history into a horror/fantasy world- with non-sparkling vampires but, brutal, blood thirsty killers. I liked that Abe befriended one of his sworn enemies and seeing that even Henry wasn't fond of the life he was left with. With Henry coming to Abe's rescue from the hands of a blood thirsty vampire. Henry teaches Abe how to out smart, toughen him up, and the killing points on a vamp. You go Abe!!
