Books Update: Re-Working our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Category: Edgar Rice Burroughs, Master of Adventure: Final Part
*Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror: We’re continuing to introduce the new layout for our books categories, with an image for each book. This week, we return to our Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror category for the final of several updates spotlighting the Master of Adventure, Edgar Rice Burroughs. Burroughs was very prolific, and wrote in several series, in addition to his most famous creation Tarzan of the Apes. His style and settings set the tone for a whole library full of imitators/homagists in jungle, interplanetary and exotic locales. We have covered our ERB stock in a number of updates over the past weeks, concluding this week with a handful of his novels that don’t fit into extended series. The Eternal Savage (which features Tarzan) is a tale of love between a modern girl and a Stone Age warrior; The Monster Men (new in) is a tale reminiscent of Frankenstein and the Island Of Dr Moreau and features Frank Frazetta cover and interior art; The Moon Men is one of two tales of lunar adventure and a sequel to The Moon Maid. I hope you’ve enjoyed this trip through the worlds of ERB and I’m sure we’ll have more to add in the near future.
