Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

5.0

I listened to this one on audio on those two hour drives from Saint Louis to Marble Hill. Even if you took out all the vampire stuff it was still a nicely done biography about Abraham Lincoln, add vampires and it was excellent. It contained quotes from letters written by Abraham Lincoln and from 'journals.' Gave you a realism that made you think that it could have been true. To me great science fiction is fiction that is nearly believable. Mr. Grahame - Smith's take on why the Civil War was fought was nicely done but I think he skipped through the Civil War too fast and straight to the end of the book. I think my favorite character was of course Henry Sturgis and the fact he is the only one who knew the truth about Roanoke Island. Shame we couldn't get a book about Henry. The book is a tad gory if anyone is thinking of reading.
