It's a new novel and the site above gives information regarding the new phase in the zombie craze that's swept pop-lit.

If you don't hit the link, basically it's this (quoted from the site):

"Alan Goldsher's forthcoming book PAUL IS UNDEAD. The novel...

...re-imagines the history of The Beatles--with John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr re-cast as zombies.

Written as oral history, the book details how Lennon, a zombie guitarist in Liverpool, kills and reanimates McCartney, then does the same with Harrison and Starr. They create hits and bloody mayhem across the world, pursued by England's greatest zombie hunter, Mick Jagger. They also engage in a battle with Eighth Level Ninja Lord Yoko Ono, and snack on the brains of swooning fans."

Been done. My Rutles tribute band OUCH! contributed a song to a film produced by Minnesota PBS a few years back called "ZomBeatles".

Agreed--the concept is nothing new, but it takes the strong smell of money (not blood) to bring on this sort of dreadful crass-pollination, and carry it through into a full-length production. My wish is that it be done tongue-in-chic. (is that possible???)

The part about Yoko is literally true
