Seth Grahame-Smith

Unlike most people, I like to watch the movie before reading the book, because I know the book is likely to be better. Now, I'm not the biggest fan of the vampire genre, but I do like a good "Undead" story, regardless of how or why the dead are not laying down and rotting, like a good corpse is supposed to do. This story did an excitingly excellent job of weaving vampires into the fabric of historical events and giving the vampiric characters just enough flare to be interesting, while reminding us that life is only precious, because we know it will end one day.

I was disappointed that it was more of a history book than vampire killing romp. This is my fault but I don't know enough about Lincoln's bio to know how much here is true and how much is fabricated. I'd hate to remember some tidbit about Lincoln's young life and have it be a fake vampire fact! (Did he really built boats and float on the Mississippi?)

I also wanted to know more about Henry and the "author" of the story who was working at the five and ten.
