Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith

"an interesting look at a great historical figure, this book uses 'diary' entries and narraration to illustrate the interesting world of the 1800's south. Little known to many humans, is the existance of vampires; luckily, Abraham Lincoln has his trusty axe and Martyr (a bunch of early matches) to keep his loved ones and friends safe. Great book, suspenseful, awesome read"
