Abraham Lincoln, President | featured news

The battleground of alternate history about the Civil War is so crowded there’s barely room to wield a cavalry sword, let alone a pen. Long before Mr. Lincoln started hunting vampires, we had Harry Turtledove and his army of astute novels; Ward Moore, Harry Harrison and Peter Tsouras have all fought on this field, along with Winston Churchill’s essay “If Lee Had Not Won the Battle of Gettysburg” and even James Thurber’s story “If Grant Had Been Drinking at Appomattox.”

The first trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is out, and you can check it out below. The movie stars Benjamin Walker, Dominic Cooper, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, and Alan Tudyk.
