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. She''s been stricken with
something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness."
"My baby boy..." she whispers before dying.
Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother''s fatal
affliction was actually the work of a vampire.
When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his
journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and
devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this
mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary
height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of
vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House.
While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a Union and
freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of
the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That
is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of
Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on
it in more than 140 years.
Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand
biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough,
Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest
president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history
behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the
birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.
