“Bloody brilliant.”
-Parade

“Are readers ready for a world in which the Beatles just wanna eat your brains? Goldsher thinks so, and he may be right. This alternate history reimagines successes, failures, and rivalries with over-the-top bizarro charm.”
-Publishers Weekly (starred review)

“Goldsher turns in a classic rags-to-riches tale of aspiration and success that would do Horatio Alger proud, punctuated by no end of gore.”
-Kirkus Reviews

“A post-modern gothic classic.”
-Mick Wall, author of When Giants Walked the Earth: A Biography of Led Zeppelin

“If you’ve ever wondered (as I have) how the story of the Beatles would have turned out if, instead of a quartet of working-class Liverpool lads, they had been a bunch of zombies, this hilarious book finally answers the question.”
-Michael Ian Black, comedian and author of Clappy as a Ham

“Goldsher imbues his broad, over-the-top, gleefully gore-flecked horror with nuance. A gag-per-minute pace.”
-NPR.org

“Paul Is Undead portrays the Beatles as larger than life—and larger than death, but Goldsher manages to make both Lennon and McCartney sound like something they haven't been in decades: human.”
-Washington Post

“An absolute delight. 308 pages of satirical hilarity dressed up like the best Rolling Stone article ever.”
-Chicago Examiner

“Investigative music journalist Alan Goldsher has ripped the moptops off the Fab Four, revealing the wormy undead belly of godless, noggin-gobbling Rock and Roll. Read it, or die.”
-Larry Doyle, author of I Love You, Beth Cooper and Go, Mutants!

“Brilliant and hilarious. Two decaying thumbs up.”
-Jonathan Maberry, author of Patient Zero

“Paul Is Undead is the Abbey Road of Beatles zombie mashup novels.”
-A. J. Jacobs, author of The Guinea Pig Diaries and The Year of Living Biblically

“Paul is Undead caused this reviewer to laugh hard enough to pull a muscle. To pass by this literary cinematography would be a mistake.”
-New York Journal of Books

“The horror mash-up publishing craze is still spreading like a plague, and while some of the most popular products seem like easy ways to digest the classics, this clever take on the subgenre will bring music nerds into its fandom.”
-Booklist

“I didn’t think it was possible to breathe this much fresh life into the zombie mash-up sub-genre.”
-G.O.R.E. Score
