Beren and Lùthien to be published as stand alone volume - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

A "sponsored" post just came up on my Facebook News Feed describing this forthcoming publication as a 'Lord of the Rings spinoff'.

As incorrect as that description is, what was more bizarre were the numerous comments accompanying the post, in which many people didn't realise it was a literary publication and assumed that another film was being made. It's a bit sad that some people can't conceive of the work as anything other than a film franchise now.

People are strange.
