|summary=What would you do if you had the power to reach into any book and pull from its pages an object? If you are a Libriomancer, this is exactly what you can do. Could come in very handy if you are sitting quietly doing some cataloguing one day, only to be attacked by three vampires.

Pulp fantasy may be frowned upon by some who believe that novels should be about emotions, inner journeys and despair. Fantasy and science fiction can have all these things as well, but they can also be fun, entertaining and laser pistols. ‘Libriomancer’ by Jim C Hines is a great example. It is a book that follows Isaac Vainio, a Libriomancer who has the power to draw magic from books. He must use this gift to good effect when one day, whilst sitting comfortably cataloguing, he is attacked by three vampires. Does that sound fun to you? If so, read on; if not, this may not be the book for you.
