GLOBAL, Worldwide –
Fans of acclaimed HBO series Game Of Thrones have reportedly been finding books full of spoilers about the show placed secretly in bookstores around the world. The news has sent many impatient watchers rushing to purchase the volumes, while others have protested against the blatant disregard of the writers for the suspense for which the program is renowned.
"It's insane," said one fan delighted by the revelations. "The fifth season is only coming out in April, and already someone has leaked what'll happen. I opened the one – it's titled A Feast For Crows – and was shocked to find out that [spoilers removed]. I can't wait to break it to my friends about [spoilers removed] dying. They'll never believe it, nor will they believe that [spoilers removed] makes it all the way to [spoilers removed]."
"I don't think it's fair. I picked up A Dance With Dragons, innocently thinking it was fanfic about the Game of Thrones universe, and unwittingly found out that [spoilers removed]," said aggrieved fan, Stacey Jones. "I'm so scared that inconsiderate people will reveal to me what else is going to happen. Literally, I'm not looking at any blogs about the series unless they have disclaimers stating [spoilers removed]."
The source of the leak earlier today revealed his identity to be George R.R. Martin, one of the main story writers for the blockbuster series. He defended his actions by citing similar series and movies whose major plot were revealed by writers long before their release dates.
"Tolkien did the same thing," said an unperturbed Martin. "He revealed that Frodo [spoilers removed] decades before the release date was due. Stephen King is another who consistently does this. It adds to the suspense – not only are you scared of what'll happen to your favorite characters, you're now terrified someone will tell you in advance."
Critics have dismissed the news as unremarkable, stating that it's characteristic of Martin, who has written such characters as [spoilers removed] out of the show to shock viewers, and never fails to disappoint in bringing fans' anxiety to the verge of boiling point.
