Languages : en
Pages : 401
Book Description
Indiana. Moonlight falls through the dense woods that surround a one-room cabin, where a nine-year-old Abraham Lincoln kneels at his suffering mother's bedside. She's been stricken with something the old-timers call "Milk Sickness." "My baby boy..." she whispers before dying. Only later will the grieving Abe learn that his mother's fatal affliction was actually the work of a vampire. When the truth becomes known to young Lincoln, he writes in his journal, "henceforth my life shall be one of rigorous study and devotion. I shall become a master of mind and body. And this mastery shall have but one purpose..." Gifted with his legendary height, strength, and skill with an ax, Abe sets out on a path of vengeance that will lead him all the way to the White House. While Abraham Lincoln is widely lauded for saving a and freeing millions of slaves, his valiant fight against the forces of the undead has remained in the shadows for hundreds of years. That is, until Seth Grahame-Smith stumbled upon The Secret Journal of Abraham Lincoln, and became the first living person to lay eyes on it in more than 140 years. Using the journal as his guide and writing in the grand biographical style of Doris Kearns Goodwin and David McCullough, Seth has reconstructed the true life story of our greatest president for the first time-all while revealing the hidden history behind the Civil War and uncovering the role vampires played in the birth, growth, and near-death of our nation.

50 Stories and Legends About VAMPIRES
Author: Robert J Dornan
Publisher: Robert J Dornan
ISBN:
Category : Body, Mind & Spirit
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Vampires have haunted the human imagination for centuries, crossing borders, cultures, and eras with their shadowy presence. From the icy mountains of Eastern Europe to the sun-scorched plains of Africa, every culture has its own version of the undead—each more terrifying than the last. Yet, no matter where these legends arise, they all share a common thread: the fear of what lurks beyond death, and the horror of those who refuse to stay in their graves. The vampire’s shape may change with geography, but its hunger for life, for blood, remains eerily the same. In 50 Stories and Legends About VAMPIRES, you’ll uncover the vastly different depictions of vampires, from the seductive aristocrats of Western lore to the ghastly, shape-shifting creatures of Asian mythology. Some vampires seek eternal power, others mindless destruction. Some hide in plain sight, while others skulk in dark forests and forgotten ruins. As these stories unfold, they reveal not just creatures of the night, but profound reflections of the societies that fear them. In many cultures, vampires serve as metaphors for the breakdown of moral order or the consequences of forbidden desires—invoking not just terror but also deep moral lessons. This journey through 50 legends will guide you into the heart of humanity’s most primal fears: the fear of death, the fear of losing one’s soul, and the fear that evil may outlive the innocent. Prepare yourself, for these are not merely stories of ghouls and specters—they are reminders that the line between the living and the dead is far more fragile than we dare imagine.

Becoming the Lost Colony
Author: Charles R. Ewen
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476652457
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 221
Book Description
Headlines declare after each new hint of evidence that the Lost Colony--the English colonists left on Roanoke Island in 1587, including Virginia Dare--has been found. None of these claims pass muster as the historical, archaeological, and literary evidence presented here demonstrate. This book analayzes several hypotheses and demonstrates why none have been shown to be more probable than any of the others. To understand how the 1587 colonists became The Lost Colony, the authors recount the history of the English expeditions in the 1580s and the original searches for the colonists from 1590 until the 1620s. The archaeological evidence gathered from the 19th through the 21st centuries is presented. The book then examines how the disappearance of the colonists has been portrayed in pseudoscience, fiction, and popular culture from the beginnings until the present day. In the end, readers will have all the data they need to judge new claims concerning the fate of The Lost Colony.
