Book description

It's 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.

Why read it?

3 authors picked Abraham Lincoln as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

This is one book where, by the end, I was absolutely convinced that Abraham Lincoln actually hunted and killed vampires, on the side. It’s cleverly written, and the photographs (actual photos) were photo-shopped, to give the story an authentic feel to it. Gifted with his legendary height, and axe (of course!) Abraham sets out, hell-bent on revenge, after discovering that his beloved mother had actually been killed by a vampire when he was a boy. The book is full of facts, giving us a history lesson on Abe Lincoln’s life, from when he was a boy until his assassination, in…

This one is just for fun! It is an interesting concept that is well done! The author is well-researched and combined history with vampire terror. It is a surprise and a wonderful, fun read! I loved the concept and the thought that Honest Abe might not have been all that honest about himself! 

From Carol's list on vampire novels that swept me away.

One of my favorite “monster” books offers an unusual, but plausible, “unknown-until-now” history of one of our greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln. This is a gripping tale of intrigue, exposing an undercover world of vampires that I couldn’t stop reading about! This is definitely one of those books I (and you) also won’t hesitate to reread with pleasure. And you can’t beat being introduced to another character who knows how to use an axe!
