In New Orleans, We’re All Sicilians~Marisa Textor
~“Where are you from, honey?” the woman asked as she ushered me into her home and gave me a lunch bag filled with homemade cookies. “New York,” I said. “And I’ve never seen anything like this before.” “That’s because New York doesn’t have any Sicilians,” she countered.
Pace Vito Corleone, Tony Soprano, and the gang, but once you’ve visited - and dined from - the St. Joseph’s Day altars of New Orleans, you’ll be forgiven for agreeing with her.
Abraham Lincoln Reborn As A Vampire Slayer ~NPR
~Grahame-Smith would like to make it clear that Lincoln never really kept a secret journal about his lifelong battle with the undead. Many other facts in the book, however, are true, starting with the death of his mother when he was 9. In the novel, of course, a vampire killed her.
Thus, young Lincoln swears vengeance against the blood-sucking immortals. Partnering with him in the fight against the undead is Edgar Allan Poe. The two never met in real life, but Grahame- Smith says that Lincoln was a great admirer of all things gothic. "He could recite The Raven from memory at one point in his life."
In the novel, vampires consider themselves the superiors of humans. Grahame-Smith considers the attitude a perfect pairing with slavery. "I see them as sort of one and the same," he says. "Both creatures, basically slaveholders and vampires, steal lives — take the blood of others — to enrich themselves."
