Libriomancer

“I picked up the book meaning to read a few pages. My first thought was, ‘This is a cool concept.’ The second thing I thought was, ‘This is really, really clever.’ The third thing I thought was, ‘I should have gone to sleep three hours ago.’”

-Patrick Rothfuss, New York Times bestselling author

“This may be Jim Hines’s best work. LIBRIOMANCER is smart, silly, and deadly serious, all at the same time. It’s a book about loving books. This is the magic librarian and ass-kicking dryad adventure story we’ve all been waiting for.”

-Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author

“Secret organizations, supernatural threats, and an unknown killer of unimaginable power—LIBRIOMANCER is one of the best reads I’ve had in a long time. It’s a lightning-fast race against time and magic to prevent the darkest secrets from history from unleashing a supernatural war on the world. I can’t wait for the next one. Oh, by the way, never piss off a fire spider.”

-Lisa Shearin, national bestselling author of ALL SPELL BREAKS LOOSE

“All writers believe in the magic of books, Jim Hines has created a system where that magic becomes real, useable, and very definitely not always safe. LIBRIOMANCER not only pulls magic from between the pages of books — from Gutenberg to Harris — but puts it there under Hines. This is a book for everyone who has ever wanted to pull Excalibur from the page.”

-Tanya Huff, author of THE WILD WAYS and the BLOOD series

“Butt-kicking librarians, pyrotechnic spiders, and vampires that don’t suck — Jim Hines serves up an incendiary and fun new urban fantasy!”

-Award-winning author Charles Stross
