Isaac Marion - Boarded Window
Have you missed the sweet sound of R's voice? Have you wondered how he feels about the holiday season? Is he a post-apocalyptic Santa or Scrooge? Did he cut back on his murder rates in the spirit of Christmas? I wrote a short story for City Arts magazine about R's first winter as a walking corpse. It's significantly less heartwarming than most holiday specials.

Isaac Marion - The ​Living
The ​New York Times bestselling Warm Bodies Series has captivated readers in twenty-five languages, inspiring a major film and transcending the zombie genre to become something "poetic" ( Library Journal ) "highly original" ( Seattle Times ) and "ultimately moving" ( Time Out London ). Now the story of a dead man's search for life reaches its conclusion on a scale both epic and intimate. Before he was a flesh-eating corpse, R was something worse. He remembers it all now, a life of greed and apathy more destructive than any virus, and he sees only one path to redemption: he must fight the forces he helped create. But what can R, Julie, and their tiny gang of fugitives do against the creeping might of the Axiom Group, the bizarre undead corporation that's devouring what's left of America? It's time for a road trip. No more flyover country. This time they'll face the madness on the ground, racing their RV across the wastelands as tensions rise and bonds unravel—because R isn't the only one hiding painful secrets. Everyone is on their own desperate search: for a kidnapped daughter, a suicidal mother, and an abused little boy with a gift that could save humanity... if humanity can convince him it's worth saving. All roads lead home, to a final confrontation with the plague and its shareholders. But this is a monster that guns can't kill. A battle only one weapon can win...

Isaac Marion - Mein ​fahler Freund
R ​ist ein Zombie. Es ist ihm peinlich, dass er sich nur an den ersten Buchstaben seines Namens erinnern kann. Wie die anderen Zombies verbringt R seine Zeit mit Herumstehen und Stöhnen. Was die Wenigsten wissen: Tot sein ist leicht. Bei einem der Raubzüge in der Stadt trifft R auf Julie. Dummerweise hat er gerade das Hirn ihres Freundes gegessen. R weiß nicht warum, aber er verliebt sich unsterblich in Julie - ausgerechnet in ein lebendes menschliches Wesen. »Mein fahler Freund« erzählt die Geschichte des bestaussehenden und charmantesten Zombies aller Zeiten.

Isaac Marion - The ​Burning World
Being ​alive is hard. Being human is harder. But since his recent recovery from death, R is making progress. He's learning how to read, how to speak, maybe even how to love, and the city's undead population is showing signs of life. R can almost imagine a future with Julie, this girl who restarted his heart—building a new world from the ashes of the old one. And then helicopters appear on the horizon. Someone is coming to restore order. To silence all this noise. To return things to the way they were, the good old days of stability and control and the strong eating the weak. The plague is ancient and ambitious, and the Dead were never its only weapon. How do you fight an enemy that's in everyone? Can the world ever really change? With their home overrun by madmen, R, Julie, and their ragged group of refugees plunge into the otherworldly wastelands of America in search of answers. But there are some answers R doesn't want to find. A past life, an old shadow, crawling up from the basement.

Isaac Marion - The ​New Hunger
New ​York is a bayou. New Orleans is a reef. The entire country has been devastated by natural disasters and governmental collapse, and on top of everything else there is the annoying problem of zombies trying to devour you at every turn. But sixteen-year-old Nora and her younger brother Addis are about to discover the most frightening thing yet: being abandoned in this horrific world by their own parents. Left with only a bag of clothes and a first-aid kit, Nora and Addis begin a harrowing journey to connect with anyone who isn't looking to rob them or eat them. A wounded man wrecks a meal of green beans and French fries at the top of the Space Needle in Seattle. An attempt to get a good night’s sleep in a fortified motel is ruined by an undead face staring at them through the window. And they just can’t seem to shake someone – something – that’s been following them everywhere they go…. Meanwhile, a girl named Julie is traveling toward the city in an SUV with her parents. She is only twelve, but has already seen friends die and her school burn. She has watched her father become nearly as cold and remorseless as the Dead. All she wants is someplace to call home, even if it never really will be. And somewhere nearby, a tall man awakens in the woods, unsure of exactly where he is, or even who he is. As he struggles to remember details of his life, a single consonant comes to him: R. He is…a name that begins with R…. Isaac Marion once again demonstrates his remarkable gifts as a storyteller as he brings the world of WARM BODIES back to life. Grounding his characters in real emotion, Marion makes you root for them to save the world even as they simply try to stay alive.

Isaac Marion - Warm ​Bodies
R ​is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he has dreams. His ability to connect with the outside world is limited to a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. After experiencing a teenage boy's memories while consuming his brain, R makes an unexpected choice that begins a tense, awkward, and stragely sweet relationship with the victim's human girlfriend. Julie is a blast of color in the otherwise dreary and gray landscape that surrounds R. His choice to protect her will transform not only R, but his fellow Dead, and perhaps their whole lifeless world. Scary, funny, and surprisingly poignant, Warm Bodies explores what happens when the cold heart of a zombie is tempted by the warmth of human love.

Isaac Marion - Eleven ​testek
"Isaac ​Marion megírta a legváratlanabb romantikus történetet. Sose gondoltam, hogy ilyen szenvedélyesen érdekel majd egy zombi." - Stephenie Meyer, A Twilight-saga szerzője R egy fiatal férfi. Éppen egzisztenciális válságban van - ő egy zombi. Keresztülverekszi magát a háborúban megsemmisült, összeomlott Amerikán, és az eszüket vesztett, éhes társai között mégis valami többre vágyik, mint vér és agyvelő. A többiekkel ellentétben ő tud beszélni - néhány felmordult szótagot ugyan, de a belső élete csupa mélység, csupa csoda és vágy. Nincsenek emlékei, nincsen személyisége, nincs pulzusa sem, de vannak álmai. Ijesztő, vicces, és meglepően szívbemarkoló. Az Eleven testek arról szól, milyen élni, hogy milyen meghalni, és arról, hogy milyen az elmosódott határ a kettő között. Amerikában minden nézőcsúcsot megdöntött a regényből készült film John Malkovich főszereplésével!
