「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……

"Has there been a more sympathetic monster since Frankenstein’s?" --Financial TimesIn Warm Bodies, Isaac Marion’s New York Times bestselling novel that inspired a major film, a zombie returns to humanity through an unlikely encounter with love."R" is having a no-life crisis--he is a zombie. He has no memories, no identity, and no pulse, but he is a little different from his fellow Dead. He may occasionally eat people, but he’d rather be riding abandoned airport escalators, listening to Sinatra in the cozy 747 he calls home, or collecting souvenirs from the ruins of civilization. And then he meets a girl. First as his captive, then his reluctant house guest, Julie is a blast of living color in R’s gray landscape, and something inside him begins to bloom. He doesn’t want to eat this girl--although she looks delicious--he wants to protect her. But their unlikely bond will cause ripples they can’t imagine, and their hopeless world won’t change without a fight.
