Table of contents: title: The facts included are: for over 250 years, between 1607 and 1865, vampires thrived in the shadows of America. Few humans believed in them; Abraham Lincoln was the most gifted vampire hunter of his day, and kept a secret journal about his war against them; and rumors of the journal's existence have long been a favorite topic among historians and Lincoln biographers. Most dismiss it as myth. Through the extraordinary discovery of Abraham Lincoln's previously unknown and long lost journals, Seth Grahame-Smith brings to life the Great Emancipator's untold history- his lifelong pursuit of the immortal undead. With unparalleled daring, Seth re-writes Abraham Lincoln's biography to include this significant and gory piece of US history. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter features all the detail, colour, and readability of Team of Rivals; title: Barack Obama's favourite book and the number one bestselling Lincoln biography; title: with only some of the historical accuracy (and thrilling new scenes of vampire combat). From Lincoln's frontier childhood to his assassination, this richly re-imagined history gives new meaning to the moments of an already incredible life.
