Is The Warm Bodies Series Worth Reading?
A Novel
by Isaac Marion
Ada’s Score
Isaac Marion's debut novel reimagines the zombie apocalypse through the eyes of R, a zombie who can't remember his name but finds himself inexplicably falling for a living girl named Julie after consuming her boyfriend's brain. At once a darkly comic love story, a meditation on memory and identity, and a surprising story of hope in a collapsed world, the novel asks what makes us human when civilization itself has rotted away. Marion's prose is lyrical and strange, full of melancholy wit, and the central romance carries genuine emotional weight. It is a genre subversion that transcends its clever premise.
Spotlight“Absurd premise, genuine heart. Marion makes you root for love in the most rotting circumstances imaginable — and it absolutely works.”
A Love Story for the End of the World
Isaac Marion takes the most unpromising romantic lead imaginable — a zombie who can barely remember his own name — and builds something that is genuinely tender, funny, and full of longing. This series uses the apocalypse as a backdrop to ask what it means to choose to feel things again, to reach toward another person when everything is falling apart. It's warmer and stranger and more moving than you'll expect.
