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.

From AudioFile:
When he was still a youngster, Abraham Lincoln's mother was murdered by vampires. (You didn't know that?) He took umbrage and henceforth lived a secret life while, on the surface, saving the Union. The secret part was his war with a second Earth species of carnivorous sapiens: vampires! This book is a clever evocation that reveals "the truth" about Honest Abe as uncovered in a hitherto unknown journal written by Lincoln himself. Narrator Scott Holst moves through the mixture of realism and fantasy with skill. However outrageous the plot may sound, Holst portrays the characters in a way that makes them exciting and credible. Together, author and narrator put an imaginative twist on our nation's history and the life of our sixteenth president. D.R.W. © AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
