The Last American Vampire by Seth Grahame-Smith

If you're a fan of alternate history and horror fiction, then you may find Seth Grahame-Smith's novels not only peculiar, but rather amusing as well. His latest work, entitled The Last American Vampire, it the sequel to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter.

Our favorite vamp, Henry Sturges is back and  grieving the death of his beloved friend, Abraham Lincoln. Recruited by Adam (oldest vampire amongst the undead) of the Union Headquarters to investigate the grisly deaths of vampire ambassadors from around the world, Sturges jumps into his task with both fangs extended and the rest is history.

Through vivid narration and historical photographs (which add depth and faux authenticity), Grahame-Smith  weaves tales of  Henry's adventurous journeys and of those whom he meets along the way; including Bram Stoker, Nikola Tesla and Mark Twain.

A curious read which will provide readers with a vampiric twist in regards to historical events during the evolution of the United States.
