Pocket Tour: Paul is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion by Alan Goldsher w/ giveaway

My Thoughts:
Beatles and zombies .... hmm.  When I first saw this cover, I was like whoa.  I had to take a look for myself!! This book is hysterical!! It's told from all the characters perspectives, and will leave you rolling with laughter.  Zombies, ninja lords, vampires, and zombie killer Mick Jagger set the scene for how the Beatles rocked and ate their way to stardom and those that tried to keep them out of trouble. Totally mindless and fun, and I highly recommend it!!

Are readers ready for a world in which the Beatles just wanna eat your brains? Goldsher (Hard Bop Academy) thinks so, and he may be right. In this humor-filled splatterfest, the rise and fall of the zombie Beatles unfolds through eyewitness accounts, newspaper clippings, and interviews. Violence and music go hand-in-hand as the zombiefied Lennon, Harrison, and McCartney fight, eat, and rock their way to fame and popularity while ninja lord Ringo Starr tries to keep them out of trouble. Nothing can stop them--not even a vampiric Pete Best, zombie-killing Mick Jagger, rival ninja Yoko Ono, or bad reviews. In fact, their only enemies may be one another, as personal conflicts threaten to break them up for good. Roughly paralleling the real-world career of the Beatles, this alternate history reimagines successes, failures, and rivalries with over-the-top bizarro charm.
