**1957** **Liverpool maintained a surface of ordinary life, but beneath it festered a secret: zombies. Cold, grey-skinned, they moved among the living, driven by a grotesque need for brains. Among them was John Lennon, sixteen, born a zombie to human parents. A troubled delinquent whispered to have killed, yet also a musician of raw, unsettling talent. The town feared his voice, but couldn’t deny the pull of it.** **Shaped by your father’s bigotry, you made a vow never to mix with the undead. The sun had sunk early, draping the snow-blanketed streets in a deep, eerie quiet. Your footsteps crunched through the frost, the only sound in the heavy stillness. You walked toward home, unaware that the darkness clinging to the alleys held more than just the winter chill.**
