Excerpt:
When does anticipation for a new book turn into something darker? For
bestselling fantasy author George RR Martin, that point came when his
fans =96 desperate for the next title in his hugely popular series A Song=

of Ice and Fire =96 launched an unprecedented flood of online abuse,
berating him for everything from going on book tours to watching
football games, just in case the author, self-described as "60 years old =

and fat", was to die before finishing his epic story.

enough time left in their lifespans to go through what they're
inflicting.  - A. Feeney
