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 mothers bedside. Shes 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 & devotion. I shall become a master of mind & body. & this mastery shall have but one purpose? Gifted with his legendary height, strength, & skill with an axe, 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 & 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, & became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years. Using the journal as his guide & writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin & David Mc Cullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of America's greatest president for the first time
- all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War & uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, & near-death of the nation.

Product Description

A practical joker is haunting the popular music halls of Victorian London
- but far from being funny, his intentions are deeply sinister.

A trapeze artist misses her timing when the ropes are shortened; a comedian who invites the audience to sing along with him finds the words of his song shamefully altered; mustard has been applied to a sword swallowers blade; a singers costume has been rigged; the girl in a magicians box is trapped.

And then the mischief escalates to murder. Or was murder intended all along? The indomitable detective team of Sergeant Cribb & Constable Thackeray dive into the back rooms & dark alleyways of London as they pursue the elusive criminal.
