While Grahame-Smith enjoys writing, his dream is to be a writer-director.
Then, he uses a combination of real historical events and fictional events created for the purpose of the story to create a coherent stream of thought that seems like it could be real. He inserts himself into the story to begin with, saying that he learned the information first hand and was “asked” to tell the real timeline of events to help people better understand. He uses historical citations, photos and people that really existed to bring a realism to the story, such as saying that the story of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer was written in combination with Lincoln’s “secret journals” and a first person source, the vampire Henry Sturges. Seth Grahame-Green’s writing style on his original work, like Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer and The Last American Vampire is conversational almost, with a very frank and matter of fact tone. It was the suggestion of his editor that he try and to a literary mash up by adding zombies into Pride and Prejudice, which due to its age is a public domain novel. He entered the market as a non-fiction writer, analyzing erotic art, then began writing a book based on comic book character Spider-Man. He followed the success with Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Unholy Nightand The Last American Vampire, a sequel to the popular Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Slayer book.īorn in New York, he was exposed to literature early on from his literary editor mother and rare book dealing step-father. In 2009, he published Pride, Prejudice and Zombies, which is said to be the first “mash up” book featuring a well-known, literary classic and adding a dose of the supernatural or science fiction to the novel.
Seth Grahame-Smith is a New York Times best-selling author, screenwriter, producer and director of television and movies.
