Abraham Lincoln, Vampire Hunter

July 1, 2010
Grahame-Smith, author of the "New York Times"best seller "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies"(2009), again plays it straight but strange in this reimagining of Abraham Lincoln as a vampire slayer hell-bent since a young age on avenging his beloved mother's vampire-related death. The book incorporates well-researched U.S. histor formance is effective in translating to audio this sometimes uneasy mix of history and horror that should nonetheless make for an entertaining listen for fans of vampire stories. [Includes a bonus interview with the author and a PDF of historical photographic documents; the Grand Central hc was recommended for purchase "only where requested," "LJ"3/15/10.—Ed.]—B.
