Hodderscape is where Hodder & Stoughton’s science fiction, fantasy and horror lovers hang out and shout about our books, as well as a few other things. We’re a place for fans of superheroes, vampires, sandworms, cats dressed as Pikachu and that feeling you get when you hear the Buffy The Vampire Slayer theme song.
On our site you’ll find news about our books, competitions, exclusive pieces by our authors and lots of geeking out.

At Hodderscape Towers, we don’t do Hallmark Valentines. We get the galactic dictionaries out and learn a new geeky language, and woo our beloved on the day by telling them, “I love you” in Dothraki, or Klingon, or Wookie. We propose in Elvish, and we officiate our weddings with a passionate Thu’um. Here’s a list of romantic phrases in fictional languages from Star Wars, Game of Thrones, and some more of our favourite sci-fi and fantasy books, TV shows, games and films.

2016 was dire apart from Netflix. Thank goodness for Stranger Things, winning us over with excellent characters and making us yearn for a time when Bowie was still alive and Brexit wasn’t a thing. Then came another genre bending show, The OA. We scoffed that a series about a girl with extraordinary abilities could be as good as watching Dustin and co. but we gave it a go and we were hooked.

Obviously the show we’re all excited to watch is season 7 of Game of Thrones. But, let’s face it, that’s still months away and will probably be over faster than you can say ‘Valar Morghulis’. So, let’s take a look at all the new shows coming this year instead – who knows, maybe in a few years time you’ll be willing to sacrifice a close relative for the seventh season of some of these as well?
