Seth Grahame-Smith set off the monster mashup craze last year with his Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. Published as a $12.95 paperback by independent press Quirk Book in Philadelphia, it continues to be a huge success.

One wondered when Grand Central picked up the rights to the author’s next book, ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER, whether fans would accept the turn away from the classics to a historical figure and if they would be willing to spring for the more expensive hardcover.

Evidently, neither is a problem. The book landed at #4 on the 3/21 NYT Fiction bestseller list.
