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."
