I love audio books. They keep me company to and from work. This sounds so strange. I do think it would be a good listen.

To be quite honest, I did not know that Abraham Lincoln had been influenced by his mother to become a vampire hunter. I never knew that his mother's death had been possibly attributed to a vampire. This would be such a fascinating book to read about a man that I greatly admired but did not know about this driving force within him.
Thank you,
