The Vampire John Lennon
From Fan History Wiki
The Vampire John Lennon is a slash novel about The Beatles written by Chanson de la Lune. It was published in January 2005 by Agent With Style and is 194 pages long, digest-sized.
It is of note as Agent With Style has a no-RPF policy, but allowed the publication of this novel by stating that it was "based on the movie-verses of A Hard Day's Night, Help! and Let It Be" and the characters portrayed by The Beatles in those films, not The Beatles themselves. (Given that Let It Be is a documentary, this explanation seems confusing at best, and though comedies with fictional plot lines, The Beatles play characters based upon themselves in the other two movies.) As a correction to the editorial aside about "Let it Be", it is specifically mentioned that the novel considers LiB to be an extension of AHDN and Help, not that it was in fact. Various details about the real Beatles lives were consciously distorted for the novel to follow the mythical theme. The entire novel is based solely in a mythical universe with hologram facsimiles. Also, it should be noted that AHDN and Help both existed in clearly mythical universes only partly based on the "real Beatles". McCartney has never been known to actually shrink to an inch-tall depiction of himself nor has he ever had a grandfather named "John". There are many fictional depictions of the fab four, such as those in Spider Robinson's story "Rubber Soul".
