Winter is coming. Every Sunday night, millions of fans gather
around their televisions to take in the spectacle that is a new
episode of Game of Thrones. Much is made of who will be gruesomely
murdered each week on the hit show, though sometimes the question
really is who won't die a fiery death. The show, based on the Song
of Fire and Ice series written by George R. R. Martin, is a truly
global phenomenon. With the seventh season of the HBO series in
production, Game of Thrones has been nominated for multiple awards,
its cast has been catapulted to celebrity and references to it
proliferate throughout popular culture. Often positioned as the
grittier antithesis to J. R. R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings,
Martin's narrative focuses on the darker side of chivalry and
heroism, stripping away these higher ideals to reveal the greed,
amorality and lust for power underpinning them. Fan Phenomena: Game
of Thrones is an exciting new addition to the Intellect series,
bringing together academics and fans of Martin's universe to
consider not just the content of the books and HBO series, but fan
responses to both. From trivia nights dedicated to minutiae to
forums speculating on plot twists to academics trying to make sense
of the bizarre climate of Westeros, everyone is talking about Game
of Thrones. Edited by Kavita Mudan Finn, the book focuses on the
communities created by the books and television series and how
these communities envision themselves as consumers, critics and
even creators of fanworks in a wide variety of media, including
fiction, art, fancasting and cosplay.
