What this story lacks in dragons, it more than makes up for in werewolves.

The TV powers that be would be fools not to tap into the works of
George R.R. Martin, the creative mind behind the ratings bonanza
Game of Thrones. And fools they’re not! Martin announced Saturday night that the HBO-owned Cinemax has optioned the rights to his 1989 novella
Skin Trade. While this series lacks dragons and white walkers, it
does have wolves. Werewolves that is.
The story, which was originally part of an anthology that included tales from pavor masters
Stephen King and
Dan Simmons, trinc a female private investigator named Randi Wade and her friend Willie Flambeaux who just happens to be, you guessed it, a werewolf. When mutilated, skinned bodies start showing up, Wade is on the case. So think of this as
Jessica Jones meets
True Blood meets, oh, that flaying scene from
Buffy the Vampire Slayer Season 6.

Martin won’t be writing or running the show himself if the pilot gets picked up to series. Instead, he and Cinemax have hired
Prison Break and
Once Upon a Time alum
Kalinda Vasquez who Martin says “seems to get Willie and Randi, and her pitch to Cinemax was one of the most polished and professional I’ve ever heard.”
Martin joked that he would have “loved” to write the pilot and run the show himself but that he’s a little too busy these days. “I have this book to finish,” he wrote. “You know the one.” The use of the word “finish” was enough to send
Game of Thrones fans into a tailspin of anticipation that Martin may be close to done with the hotly-anticipated Book 6 in his “A Song of Ice and Fire” series. But as some
observant readers pointed out, Martin has been using similar language since 2007.

Other readers are actually a little disappointed that Martin used the word “finish,” because some signs had indicated that Book 6 was
already done and well into the editing process. That may still be the case! But for now all we know is that werewolves, like winter, are coming.

Brienne of Tarth—Season 3, episode 7, “The Bear and the Maiden Fair”
Though she always looks more at home (and, frankly, better) in armor, we have to admire Brienne for taking on an enormous bear in this frock. Clapton explains, “When Gwen [Christie] was battling the bear, a very masculine bear/stunt man had to spend the whole day in a pink dress with a blond wig.”
