Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter

Holy crap, just found out about this book and immediately went out and bought it. This premise just screams awesome, starting it now! Anyone else read it? Please no spoilers, but give me your thoughts!

Link.

That is the article I read today that got me interested :) So far, its pretty damn good.

The movie can't possibly do that well. I expect to be released on dvd fairly shortly after the movie.

Followed a link to this video this morning. I first assumed the video was a satirization of those short film promos for books. Then I wondered if it wasn't actually a brilliantly campy, over the top but legitimate book promotion.

Curse that lincoln. Killing all my vampires!

I really wish that was an actual movie. Even with the historically inaccurate knife used in the first bit of the clip.

Yes, but you're snappy, even in failure, and few people can say that about themselves. When I fail, it's usually in slow motion and there are often far too many spectators.

Does the Benny Hill music play while that goes on?

In the Masque of the Red Death Campaign, it was strongly hinted that Queen Victoria has her own special secret service to confront the supernatural as a parallel or rival to the White Rose organisation the players worked for.

In the Dr. Who series, she simultaneously knighted the Doctor and listed him as an "enemy of the realm", as per the comissioning of the original Torchwood.

Yakety Sax? Sadly, yes. So much so that I learned how to play that on sax when I was twelve. It seemed only natural.

It's funny how the article linked to about this book does not mention that Tim Burton is buying the film rights and will be making a movie of it. Or that the first book by the author, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is being made into a movie with Natalie Portman directing, and maybe starring in as well.
