The origin of the idea was just an observation that I reached by hanging out in bookstores. How did you come up with the idea for the book?Ī. Part of the way we measure time as human beings is by wars. the horrors of war – you know – the horrors of crimes and abuse and the terrible things that people can dream up doing to each other – those are the real scary things. The most horrific things in the world are real. Do you think there is a lot of horror in history you can write on or reflect on?Ī. At the same time, I’ve also been a lifelong fan of the horror genre, especially horror movies growing up as a kid. I love histories, presidential biographies and I’ve always been interested in history. A lot of the reading I do for pleasure is history – books by Doris Kearns Goodwin, Walter Isaacson (and) David McCullough. For me, it’s just a matter of combining two things that I love. What do you find interesting about combining history with the horror genre?Ī. Seth Grahame-Smith is author of the best-seller “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.” I recently talked with Grahame-Smith about his newest book, “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter,” which is out now.
