America's current obsessions with Abraham Lincoln and vampires continue with Seth Grahame-Smith's new literary embrace of both: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. The author of recent New York Times Bestseller Pride and Prejudice and Zombies begins with Lincoln's mother's early death, as set against a mélange of blood-seeking vamps. Tonight at Book Soup, Grahame-Smith discusses his twisted vision for a work that's equal parts Twilight and the History Channel.

Book Soup says…

Seth Grahame-Smith presents and signs Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

"When Abraham Lincoln was nine years old, his mother died from an ailment called the 'milk sickness.' Only later did he learn that his mother's deadly affliction was actually the work of a local vampire....When Abe learned the truth, he vowed revenge and kept one passion hidden throughout his life: the brutal elimination of all vampire." (Grand Central Publishing)
