A parody version of A Song of Fire and Ice has been sold to Thomas Dunne Books, a division of St. Martin’s Press.
The parody novel called A Game of Groans is written by George R.R. Costanza.
The news of the sale was announced yesterday.
Here’s details on the novel from the publisher:
Sci-Fi/Fantasy
George R.R. Costanza’s A GAME OF GROANS, a parody of George R.R. Martin’s bestselling A Song of Ice and Fire series, set in a world where seasons can last decades (and comparisons to Tolkien a lifetime), the warmth is returning, and in the thawing tundra to the North of Summerseve, the future of the Bark family, their BFFs, and their enemies dangles in the balance, to Peter Joseph at Thomas Dunne Books, by Jason Allen Ashlock at Movable Type Literary Group (World).
Okay, the author name made me laugh.
One can hope the book will be as funny as “Doon” or “Bored of the Rings.”
