A rock-and-roll satire about fame, reinvention, and an icon who refuses to stay gone. Even his last encore didn’t see this one coming.

The Story

Keith Unger is twenty-seven, unknown, and about to have the worst birthday of his short career. His band quits. His girlfriend leaves. His landlord changes the locks. His manager’s advice: Kill yourself—it worked for guys with way more talent. When Keith disappears over a Malibu cliff, he becomes an overnight sensation. Turns out the music industry loves nothing more than a dead rock star. Funny how that works.

Relaunch version coming soon.

Reader note: Intended for mature readers. Contains strong language, adult situations, substance use, and themes involving suicide. Rock and roll behaves badly.

Praise for Keith Lives!

“Smart, funny, perceptive, and—surprisingly—way less cynical about its subject than you’re set up to expect.”

—Steve Simels, PowerPop

“This book is one of a kind…I felt no less than someone in an audience when I read the scenes of Keith’s performances.”
