Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
Sometimes a book's title and/or cover tells you exactly what the story is all about. This would be one of those times. Occasionally tongue-in-cheek and sometimes quite gory this book also owes a LOT to George RR Martin's Fevre Dream, written back in the 80's. Anyway it's fun and quite skillfully mixes historical fact with tremendous flights of fancy. Ultimately it's lightweight and a bit too satisfied with itself but it did deliver what it promised.


"When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies but the pack survives."
Winter is Coming

Now this is the Law of the Jungleā€”as old and as true as the sky; And the wolf that shall keep it may prosper, but the wolf that shall break it must die.
As the creeper that girdles the tree-trunk, the Law runneth forward and back; For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack.
