An employee at a U.K. branch of Waterstones put a marker in every page on which a death occurs, proving just how ruthless George RR Martin is.
With help from this fansite thread, we make that 284 deaths in the Song Of Ice And Fire books so far.
A Game Of Thrones - 54.
A Clash Of Kings - 72.
A Storm Of Swords - 97.
A Feast For Crows - 23.
A Dance With Dragons - 38.
Which is just yet more evidence to support the view of George RR Martin as the biggest troll in literature.
