  • Last book 'Fire and blood': the methadone of the junkies of George RR Martin, the writer of 'Game of Thrones'

The devotees of Game of Thrones and the author who inspired the series, George RR Martin, already have another place of pilgrimage to worship the phenomenon: a bookstore in Santa Fe (New Mexico. USA). The novelist and television producer opened the store last month with little noise, next to the movie theater he acquired in 2013 to try to revive it, according to a local newspaper.

It is called Beastly Books and autographed books by the author of New Jersey and other writers will be sold, in addition to all kinds of merchandise from the HBO series, the television phenomenon that broke record awards and audience records for eight seasons. Before, next to the Jean Cocteau cinema, a tribute to the fabulous poet, novelist and French director, there was a hairdresser , Wild Hare Salon.

It is an investment that Martin had been contemplating for some time. " Dozens of fabulous authors , award winners, bestselling authors, have appeared at the Jean Cocteau to speak, read, and sign their books," he wrote in his blog a few weeks ago. "The only problem is that Jean Cocteau's lobby was too small to display all those wonderful signed books," so he decided to keep the place next door.

According to the bookkeeper, his intention is to focus on everything related to science fiction and fantasy . It somehow "connects with the kind of movies we show and with the comic book store," Rory MacPherson said in reference to another business close to the cinema.

At the moment they have a blunt sculpture of The Iron Giant , an animated film by Brad Bird ( Ratatouille , The Incredibles ) of 1999 and a doormat with the message "Beyond Here There Be Dragons" before reaching a bar where they arrive They serve coffees to liven up the walk between books and works of art hanging on the walls.

Martin moved to Santa Fe (New Mexico) in 1979, in search of peace and tranquility to become a writer . In 2013 he stayed with the Jean Cocteau cinema and completely reformed it, including the original option to screen in 35 millimeters in addition to a new digital and sound system. He also allocated 2.7 million dollars to build a new space for art through Meow Wolf, a local art and entertainment company.
