Oh hey, that book turned up on everybody's 'Best-of' lists last year. I'll have to find myself a copy. Sounds fun.
Shows what I know - I stumbled on it by accident.
Like I said, nothing groundbreaking, but I sure had fun reading it. Some of the references, while not totally popular, were the ones I keyed on as a kid.
Before that, I read Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter. Those who I know who saw the movie, said the movie was horible, despite the screenplay being written by the author. The book is not so much Abe being a super hero type character, but more on just how the sheer existence of vampires shaped history.
