Paul Is Undead: The British Zombie Invasion by Alan Goldsher
4.0
4/5. When I first started reading this... I couldn't tell if I really loved it or really hated it. And then, when I read 200 pages in one sitting, I realised I fookin' loved it! I'm not much of a zombie fan, but I'll be damned if I'm not a mega Beatles fan. In fact, to discern between reality and zombie-nonsense, you're gonna have to have a pretty decent knowledge of the band's history, from the Quarrymen up until the breakup.
Why did I love it?
Well, because, despite them being killer zombies, I was reading a fiction book from the point of view of the Fab Four etc. The band I love becoming characters in a story I knew completed me. And when I read that former-bassist Stu Sutcliffe was a vampire, I was sold. It was just brilliant.
Not everyone's cup of tea sure, but after 50 pages, you're gonna be hooked!
(P.S Ninja Ringo does the lovable Ringo justice and is an absolute legend!)
