![]() ![]() It seemed like people couldn’t get enough Lincoln. A couple of years ago as we were leading up to the bicentennial of Lincoln’s birth I kept going into bookstores and seeing that there were Lincoln tables in front of all the bookstores (and) a new Lincoln book coming out on almost a weekly basis. The origin of the idea was just an observation that I reached by hanging out in bookstores. How did you come up with the idea for the book?Ī. Part of the way we measure time as human beings is by wars. ![]() the horrors of war – you know – the horrors of crimes and abuse and the terrible things that people can dream up doing to each other – those are the real scary things. The most horrific things in the world are real. Do you think there is a lot of horror in history you can write on or reflect on?Ī. At the same time, I’ve also been a lifelong fan of the horror genre, especially horror movies growing up as a kid. I love histories, presidential biographies and I’ve always been interested in history. A lot of the reading I do for pleasure is history – books by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Walter Isaacson (and) David McCullough. For me, it’s just a matter of combining two things that I love. What do you find interesting about combining history with the horror genre?Ī. Seth Grahame-Smith is author of the best-seller “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” I recently talked with Grahame-Smith about his newest book, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” which is out now. ![]()
