"Wonderful how Ellen Newmark, in "The Book of Unholy Mischief" uses food as metaphor, teaching tool, and setting device (but I do differ with..." something I never had time to finish, and I no longer recall. I must read this book again.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter by Seth Grahame-Smith
3.0
This book was a very good read!
Excellent story, well-imagined, and if you replace the word vampire with monied-interests, you have a perfect description of the problems in our current political system. Excellent referrences to Dr. King and veiled references to modern-day Human Rights and Civil Rights issues which have their roots in pre-Emancipation era history and politics. Fascinating, particularly the last page... A must read!
