Indiana, beneath a wash of moonlight, a young Abraham Lincoln kneels at his mother’s bedside in a remote cabin. Stricken by the mysterious “Milk Sickness,” she whispers her last words to her nine-year-old son before death claims her. What Abe does not yet know is that her illness was no accident—it was the work of a vampire.
Shattered by grief, Lincoln vows in his secret journal to devote his life to mastery of mind and body, with one purpose only: vengeance. With his towering height, unyielding strength, and unmatched skill with an axe, he begins a relentless crusade against the undead—one that will shape his path to the presidency.
Though history remembers Lincoln as the savior of the Union and the emancipator of millions, his secret war against vampires has remained buried—until now. Drawing from Lincoln’s long-lost journal, Seth Grahame-Smith reconstructs the hidden chronicle of America’s 16th president, revealing the blood-soaked truths lurking behind the Civil War and the undead forces that threatened to consume a nation.
