      Vampire Henry Sturges returns in the highly anticipated sequel to Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter-a sweeping, alternate history of twentieth-century America by New York Times bestselling author Seth Grahame-Smith. THE LAST AMERICAN VAMPIRE In Reconstruction-era America, vampire Henry Sturges is searching for renewed purpose in the wake of his friend Abraham Lincoln's shocking death. Henry's will be an expansive journey that first sends him to England for an unexpected encounter with Jack the Ripper, then to New York City for the birth of a new American century, the dawn of the electric era of Tesla and Edison, and the blazing disaster of the 1937 Hindenburg crash. Along the way, Henry goes on the road in a Kerouac-influenced trip as Seth Grahame-Smith ingeniously weaves vampire history through Russia's October Revolution, the First and Second World Wars, and the JFK assassination. Expansive in scope and serious in execution, THE LAST AMERICAN VAMPIRE is sure to appeal to the passionate readers who made Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter a runaway success.

      From the author of the New York Times bestselling Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, comes UNHOLY NIGHT, the next evolution in dark historical revisionism. They're an iconic part of history's most celebrated birth. But what do we really know about the Three Kings of the Nativity, besides the fact that they followed a star to Bethlehem bearing strange gifts? The Bible has little to say about this enigmatic trio. But leave it to Seth Grahame-Smith, the brilliant and twisted mind behind "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" and "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" to take a little mystery, bend a little history, and weave an epic tale. In Grahame-Smith's telling, the so-called "Three Wise Men" are infamous thieves, led by the dark, murderous Balthazar. After a daring escape from Herod's prison, they stumble upon the famous manger and its newborn king. The last thing Balthazar needs is to be slowed down by young Joseph, Mary and their infant. But when Herod's men begin to slaughter the first born in Judea, he has no choice but to help them escape to Egypt. It's the beginning of an adventure that will see them fight the last magical creatures of the Old Testament; cross paths with biblical figures like Pontius Pilate and John the Baptist; and finally deliver them to Egypt. It may just be the greatest story never told.

      In Indiana, 1818, nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels by his mother’s bedside as she succumbs to "Milk Sickness." Unbeknownst to him, her death is caused by a vampire. Grieving, Abe vows in his journal to dedicate his life to mastering mind and body for a singular purpose: vengeance. Equipped with his notable height, strength, and ax skills, he embarks on a quest that ultimately leads him to the White House. While Lincoln is celebrated for preserving the Union and emancipating millions, his battle against the undead has remained obscured for centuries. This changed when Seth Grahame-Smith discovered The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, the first person to see it in over 140 years. Using this journal as a foundation, Seth reconstructs Lincoln's true story, blending historical narrative with the hidden influence of vampires on the Civil War and the nation’s development. Through this lens, the book reveals a captivating and alternate perspective on the life of one of America’s greatest presidents, intertwining his legendary achievements with a secret history of supernatural conflict.
