Abe's Vamppy days....


Hey All are you ready for a blood dripping analysis of a horror book?,
Right after the beloved holi
day known as Christmas, you want your reading public to think your plain crackers, right Matt is that it?, No I don't not really but I just am now done with my first foray into horror fiction that I was sharing back during the month of October. Does anyone remember this cover from a entry dated Oct .24th, of this year. If not go find it If you dare????

And now for that bloody Abe Vampire Hunter review. Really this book has a lot of fun with our honored sixteenth Prez in many ways yet it mostly the captions under photo shopped images throughout this yarn that scare the reader with laughter (at least I seem to think so anyway). Most of what the writer did was of course add simply blood sucking Vampires as Abraham Lincoln's foes and one known as "Henry" that is Abe's friend and mentor in dealing with his blood brothers. Abe is learning much of what his parents can't in books by log fires as a boy from what his mother offers because of course she wants him to do much better than they are limited too. One night she is attacked by a vampire (here is where I'm guessing...), for Thomas Lincoln Abe's father has had a deal with one. The Vampire says when Thomas refuses to live up to their said deal "Then I'll take it in other ways" Abe comes to find out from his dad whom he doesn't like that his grandfather had given over the family farm to people who claimed to be part of Shawnee tribe of Indians that were pale faced and was killed because he didn't, and young Thomas was a witness to the whole thing.
Years later he was offered the same deal and knowing how his father died he gave into the pale face Shawnee what they wanted for fear of what would happen to his family. Abe upon hearing the depiction of his grandfather killers ways of brute force took it upon himself to throwing his wood cutting axe as fast as he could. "Henry Struges" was a boy that never had wanted to be a Demon of the night, but became one because of the girl he loved had unfortunately fate of falling prey to one. (Here is another part of the story that is very interesting but as to if it's true I have no idea) On a mission that Henry sends Abe on he happens to meet Edgar Allen Poe. The two share their knowledge of Vampires. At some point in this Abe and Mary Todd happen to have a fourth child before any of the three known Lincoln offspring. Also Vampires are running back up for the soldiers of the Confederate army, oh and don't let me tell you the John Wilkes Booth angle of the yarn..... for that you have to go get a copy of the book I guess?
