Prequel
On January 28, 2013, Zola Books published Isaac Marion's novella e-book prequel to Warm Bodies, titled The New Hunger.[5] Library Journal praised its "rich, evocative prose".[6] Cinema Blend gave a mostly positive review, remarking that it "feels more like an add-on to Warm Bodies than a self-contained story" but stating that fans of Warm Bodies would enjoy the novella.[7]
Sequel
On October 15, 2012, Marion announced via his blog that he was writing a sequel.[8] Three years later, he announced that the project had grown into two books, making the series four books in total.[9] The first of these, titled The Burning World, was released on February 7, 2017, and Marion launched an elaborate campaign to encourage preordering through his own web store, creating original story materials as rewards.[10] Marion self-published a limited run of the final book in the series, The Living, on November 13, 2018.[11]
