Abe Lincoln On Acid
By Brian Anthony & Bill Walker
Genre: Historical w/Paranormal Twist
Publisher: Walker & Anthony Publications
Book Description:
There are whispers even now that Abraham Lincoln never really died, that a voodoo spell cursed him with a terrible eternal life. It has even been claimed that he robbed banks in the 1930s with John Dillinger, only to mysteriously disappear once again into the pages of history. But the truth is even stranger than the rumors...
Watched over by a vengeful J. Edgar Hoover and held in a secret location near his old Springfield home, Lincoln re-awakens in the 1960s, and finds himself thrust into an era even more turbulent than the Depression, a time where a divisive war is once again tearing a nation apart and political intrigue and assassinations are rampant.
Escaping Hoover’s clutches with a clever bit of deception, he navigates an even more treacherous and unfamiliar terrain, finding an ally in John Voci, a young San Francisco folk-singer. Together they journey across a counter-cultural landscape, meeting those who believe a great man has returned, and striving to remain free from those who want to bury him once and for all.
Will Lincoln inspire the younger generation and save his country from its final reckoning, or will he turn on, tune in, and drop out?

Book Review:
Abe Lincoln On Acid is definitely one of the most interesting books I've read in awhile. It's not every day where you read a book about Abraham Lincoln, whose immortal. While reading this book, I was really having trouble understanding the concept. The writing style is smooth and p.o.v transitions are great, but there is something about Abe Lincoln On Acid that I couldn't wrap my head around.
The one main thing that bothered me about Abe Lincoln On Acid is the title. I don't think it's relevant to the story, personally. I feel like it throws off the concept of the book a little bit. Abe Lincoln On Acid is an extravagant book. I mean you have the sixteenth president fighting and trying to escape bad guys. Like that is kinda rad.
Overall I would give Abe Lincoln On Acid three-and-a-half stars. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants a historical book with a splash of paranormal in it!
