Born to illiterate parents in the untamed frontiers of America & raised with virtually no formal education Abraham Lincoln often questioned his future. But he took comfort in knowing that he at least had the freedom to choose his own path in life. Freedom he believed was a precious thing & he was certain that no man had a right to enslave another. Unfortunately not everyone in America shared that belief. In the mid-19th century America was a nation with more than four million slaves; it was a nation that had lost its moral compass; a nation desperate for a leader to step forward. That leader was Abraham Lincoln. Thrust into the national spotlight when his conscience would not let him turn away from injustice Abraham Lincoln took control of a shattered nation at the cusp of a civil war. & he helped ensure that the idea of freedom for all did not perish from the earth. ...

Its 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 mothers 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 Americas 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."
