Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter

PLEASE don't tell my dad I've read this book. He's a crazy Abe Lincoln fan and would be appalled if he knew I was reading a book (albiet fiction) where Mr. Lincoln hunts down and slaughters Vampires. He does it for good reasons though. His beloved mother was killed by one, as was his grandfather and his first true love. Lincoln then becomes an expert on how to hunt down and kill these creatures (stake through the heart... chop off their heads...). He eventually runs for President because he becomes aware that vampires from Europe are infiltrating our country and 'feeding off' of slaves,using them purely for their blood, so if history books report that he opposed slavery on moral grounds that isn't entirely true, his mission was to save them from slaughter as well as the rest of the country (after all guess who they'll go after when all of the slaves have been wiped out?)

Silliness but an interesting twist on a truely iconic figure in our history. In the end he is finally felled by John Wilkes Booth, of course a vampire himself, set on getting rid of the country's (vampire hunter) president and bringing back power to the South. I'm sorry dad!!..
