*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 fifth 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 shall be covering our ERB stock in a number of updates over the coming weeks, continuing this week with his tales of Venus. Like his more famous predecessor, John Carter, Carson Napier was an Earthman transported to an alien world for adventure and romance among fearsome beasts and weird peoples. ERB’s Amtor was every bit as well realised as his Barsoom had been. We have all five of the Venus volumes in stock in a variety of editions. Full details of all our stock in our catalogue.
