Warm Bodies

　　「我死了，但也沒那麼糟。早就習慣了。」

　　R是個殭屍。他沒有記憶、身分、心跳，卻懷抱著許多夢想。他和其他活死人同伴有那麼一點不同，雖然只能勉為其難吐出幾個字和外界溝通，但內心世界卻深邃無比，充滿驚奇與渴望。
　　
　　在一座城市的廢墟裡，R遇見了一位女孩。這個名叫茱莉的女孩和他所知道的一切正好相反，她溫暖、燦爛、充滿活力，她是蒼灰陰鬱中一抹奔放豔麗的色彩。R不但沒吃她，還決定救她一命，於是一段緊張而又異常溫柔的甜蜜關係就此展開。
　　
　　這種事從沒發生過，不但不合邏輯，也違背了規矩，不但改變了R，也改變他的活死人同伴，甚至讓死氣沈沈的世界出現了生機。然而，在那陰森腐敗的世界裡，想要完成夢想，他們還需要一場革命……

作者簡介

以撒．馬里昂 Isaac Marion

　　一九八一年出生於華盛頓州西北部，一輩子都住在西雅圖市內和附近地區，曾做過許多奇怪的工作，例如在安寧療養院推安寧病床，以及父母探視寄養兒女時的督導員。目前未婚，沒有小孩，沒上過大學，也沒贏過任何獎項。《體溫》是他第一本小說。（本書中文版由小異出版）

　　R is a young man with an existential crisis--he is a zombie. He shuffles through an America destroyed by war, social collapse, and the mindless hunger of his undead comrades, but he craves something more than blood and brains. He can speak just a few grunted syllables, but his inner life is deep, full of wonder and longing. He has no memories, noidentity, and no pulse, but he has dreams.

　　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 decision 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 is about being alive, being dead, and the blurry line in between.
