Mtlima Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 So, as I was reading, did anyone notice the H.P. Lovecraft reference? An Ironborn called Dagon Codd, big man, pop-eyed and wide of mouth, looking as "if his father had sired him from a fish". It's an accurate description of the Deep Ones hybrids in "The shadow over innsmouth", from Lovecraft. I searched and did not find any comments on the theme around the internet, but did not find anything. Opinions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember seeing a video of an interview with GRRM where he states that there are homages to scifi and fantasy authors throughout ASoIaF. I have to start looking more closely. Good find!
