Vampires, dragons, and robots with lasers for eyes. These were the literary stars of my childhood. Their stories were unified by the same pattern: they began with a bang-hijinks ensued-and then the hero overcame some villainous force to win love and a heap of treasure. Books were portals meant for escapism. Suck me into the tornado, hurl me through an intergalactic wormhole, drag me down the rabbit hole, and then please, quicken my pulse for the next three hundred to seven hundred pages.
