Most people have heard of Seth Grahame-Smith from his already successful novel Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. He now has a new novel out that explains the hidden history of the Civil War and a secret side to one of the greatest Presidents of the United States. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter sounds a bit crazy, but I’m more inclined to read after reading P&P&Z and liking it.

The novel is written from Seth’s view after he is given some letters and leather bound books by a customer who would regularly come to his store. This customer and these writings turn Seth’s world upside down from what he knew about the world and from what he thought he had learned about history. But it probably wouldn’t be easy to realize that vampires are real and that Abraham Lincoln was one of the best hunters.

But if you’re still iffy, you can check out the first two chapters here. I took a read and I have to say I think that this book has some good potential and I’ll probably pick it up on my next trip to the bookstore.
