Remember that scene in Megashark vs Giant Octopus where a giant shark bites a jumbo jet in mid-air, and you said “D00d no fucking way!”?

Way.

ITEM: Seth Grahame-Smith’s new book, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, is denounced by Richard Norton Smith, founding director of the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, for not being historically accurate.

Smith said he found Vampire Hunter’s main thrust, that Honest Abe was in fact a hunter of vampires, to be “the most inane idea imaginable.”

He called it, “a true bastardization of the Lincoln story.”

The museum is cashing in on the interest anyway. Which just goes to show.

DISCLAIMER: I’m not a big fan of the current “classic literature with added monsters” meme, if only because (1) it looks like one of those things where the idea is funnier than the actual book, and (2) so far they’ve primarily been focused on Victorian England, which I have little interest in anyway (to say nothing of Jane Austen).

That said, I’m tempted to give AL:VH a go in part because it’s not a classic lit mash-up so much as an alt/secret history tale. And, as it happens, Lincoln did have an interest in the occult. So he probably would have found it a lot funnier than Richard Norton Smith does.

Then again, maybe I’ll just wait for the film version.

Four score and seven years ago,
