01.20: Seth Grahame-Smith

2014-12-18 20:04:24| Powells Books Events Calendar

The inimitable Seth Grahame-Smith goes all Howard Zinn on vampires in The Last American Vampire (Grand Central Publishing) — the incredibly ambitious, century-spanning, vampire alterna-history follow-up to the 1.5-million-copy phenomenon Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. In Reconstruction-era America, vampire Henry Sturges is searching for renewed purpose in the wake of his friend Abraham Lincoln's shocking death. It will be an expansive journey that will first send 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 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 a sweeping, alternate history of 20th Century America.
