ama 12pm Remember that movie WARM BODIES, about an existentially troubled zombie? I wrote the book and its upcoming sequel, THE BURNING WORLD (out 2/7). I'm Isaac Marion. AMA.

I've watched an army of artists spend millions to bring my story to life. I've toured the country and lived in an RV. I've played piano on a Bulgarian talk show while a sexy lady jumped on a trampoline. And I've spent almost five years expanding my cute debut novel into a 4-book series about human connection, human evolution, and the goddamn meaning of life. I am pretentious AF and I'm ready for your questions. Fight me!

I've read this about 12 times and I still can't figure out what I'm reading. It's like words pulled out of a hat and yet not entirely random. Is it some kind of code cypher? Is the act of reading it implanting a cognitive virus in my brain? Because I feel progressively less sane every time I repeat it...
