NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER, NOW A MAJOR MOTION PICTURE

"Gruesome yet poetic...highly original." --The Seattle Times

"Dark and funny." --Wired

"A mesmerizing evolution of a classic contemporary myth." --Simon Pegg

"A strange and unexpected treat...elegantly written, touching, and fun." --Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveler's Wife

"Has there been a more sympathetic monster since Frankenstein's?" --Financial Times

"R" is having a no-life crisis--he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he'd rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization.

And then he meets a girl.

First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R's gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn't want to eat this girl--although she looks delicious--he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can't imagine, and their hopeless world won't change without a fight.

Isaac Marion's genre-defying debut startled the literary world with its poignant subversion of the zombie mythos, inspiring a major film adaptation and being translated into twenty-seven languages. Read the groundbreaking first entry as the Warm Bodies series approaches its conclusion with The Living, coming in 2017.

Review:
"In elegant, evocative prose, Marion has fashioned the world's most unlikely romance in a story that is by turns harrowing, poignant, and tender. At the last, the reader is reminded that we are all ultimately human, whether living or dead. Utterly charming." - "Library Journal", starred review

"Has there been a more sympathetic monster since Frankenstein's?" -"The Financial Times"""

"I never thought I could care so passionately for a zombie. Isaac Marion has created the most unexpected romantic lead I've ever encountered, and rewritten the entire concept of what it means to be a zombie in the process. This story stayed with me long after I was done reading it. I eagerly await the next book by Isaac Marion." - Stephenie Meyer, #1 "New York Times" Bestselling author of the "Twilight "series

""Warm Bodies" is a strange and unexpected treat. This is a wonderful book, elegantly written, touching and fun, as delightful as a mouthful of fresh brains."

-Audrey Niffenegger, #1 "New York Times" Bestselling author of "The Time Traveler's Wife"

"Isaac Marion has a great new voice that hooks you from page one and accomplishes the impossible: it makes you care about young zombie love. "Warm Bodies" is a terrific read." --Josh Bazell, author of "New York Times" bestseller "Beat the Reaper"

"The words Marion uses to describe his grim near-future are silken smooth. They slip through the mind's grasp easily, pleasurably, leaving hardly a hint of themselves in the images they evoke." --"The Seattle Times"



"Dark and funny."

-- "Wired"

"Elegantly written, touching, and fun."

-- Audrey Niffenegger, #1 "New York Times" bestselling author of "The Time Traveler's Wife"

"Elegantly written, touching, and fun."

"Dark and funny."

""Warm Bodies" is a terrific zombook. Whether you're warm-bodied or cold-bodied, snuggle up to it with the lights low and enjoy a dead-lightful combination of horror and romance."

"Elegantly written, touching, and fun."--Audrey Niffenegger, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Time Traveler's Wife

"The writing is lively, the characters intriguing, and the creative reinvention of popular themes is thought-provoking."

"Compulsively readable."

"A masterfully crafted retelling of "Romeo & Juliet"."

"Remarkable. From the very first page you are hooked on protagonist R's story. You actually care about R. Yes, you find yourself really caring about a zombie."

"Fun and entertaining."

"Marion's novel is even better [than the movie], digging deep into sardonic observations about humanity, comic takes on zombie behavior and stirring reflections on what it really means to be alive or dead."

"Artful."

Elegantly written, touching, and fun. --Audrey Niffenegger, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Time Traveler's Wife"
