The British Zombie Invasion series:
Paul Is Undead
Give Death a Chance

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IT'S TIME TO REALLY MEET THE BEATLES.

For John Lennon, a young, idealistic zombie guitarist with dreams of global domination, Liverpool seems the ideal place to form a band that could take over the world. In an inspired act, Lennon kills and reanimates local rocker Paul McCartney, kicking off an unstoppable partnership. With the addition of newly zombified guitarist George Harrison and drummer/Seventh Level Ninja Lord Ringo Starr, the Beatles soon cut a swath of bloody good music and bloody violent mayhem across Europe, America, and the entire planet.

In this searing oral history, discover how the Fab Four climbed to the Toppermost of the Poppermost while stealing the hearts, ears, and brains of smitten teenage girls. Learn the tale behind a spiritual journey that resulted in the dismemberment of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Marvel at the seemingly indestructible quartet’s survival of a fierce attack by Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono. And find out how the boys escaped eternal death at the hands of England’s greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger.

Through all this, one mystery remains: Can the Beatles sublimate their hunger for gray matter, remain on top of the charts, and stay together for all eternity? After all, three of the Fab Four are zombies, and zombies live forever. . . .

My two-bits:

Lots of silly fun.

Hilarious mashup of the origin story of the Beatles and zombies (and ninja) which was somewhat historical with a fun twist.

Got me listening to the Beatles first album, Please Please Me - oldies but goodies ;-)

Bookie Brunch schedule
Now follow me to the Bookie Brunch meeting for a bit of chit chat at Fluidity of Time.

Bookie Brunch Question of the day:
Since we’re close to Halloween, I’m curious --- if you could be any magical creature for three days (three’s a good number, since it lets you have a fair run at it), what would you be? Of course, you’d be able to turn back to yourself after 3 days, so no worries about getting stuck!

Answer this question at Fluidity of Time and be eligible for the Bookie Brunch giveaway:
