The Last American Vampire

Seth Grahame-Smith — 2015

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.

Henry, my love, my little vampire man who I need to protect. Genuinely loved this! Though it seemed like there wasn’t really any real plot, because stories that couldn’t formed a whole series of books were swept over, I’m glad they were, because we got to see Henry through his life, and it wouldn’t have made sense to dwell on things that were, to him, small fractions of time in his long existence.

I really like this book and telling us about Henry Sturges life and his many travels through out time and place. I really do hope that Seth Grahame-Smith write more about Henry. I really like how Seth pull from real historical events in the books and create a great and awesome books From reading these two books and seeing the movie for vampire hunter (not going to go there). I really want to make funko pop for Henry.
