Can you tell me about coming up with where you took the story. You continue that story in this new book. Paste: Warm Bodies has this great elevator pitch, the zombie story from the perspective of the zombie. We chatted with Marion about the sequel, the Warm Bodies film adaptation and the next installment in his zombie series. In The Burning World, the sequel released this week, R and his heroic girlfriend Julia find themselves still under attack in a much bigger world than we saw in book one. But defeating the skeletal demons and overthrowing the fascist leaders of of humanity’s last stand was just step one. Marion’s clever and surprisingly affecting 2011 debut, made into a teenage rom-com two years later (changing the tone, but keeping much of the plot), told the story of zombie who wanted to regain his humanity. But with R, Isaac Marion’s undead protagonist, we learned just how misunderstood our rotting brethren could be. Warm Bodies gave us a glimpse into the oft-overlooked internal life of the zombie, a creature heretofore dismissed as a shuffling meat-suit of hunger, a destructive nightmarish metaphor for disconnection and loss of individuality.
