Dennis Wheatley, Edgar Rice Burroughs,Rider Haggard and The pulp Masters.

Most of Edgar Rice Burroughs work is available in eBook form much of it free.Earlier this year Disney tried to revive the fortunes of Burroughs Martian tales with a block buster version of A Princess of Mars retitled John Carter.As a Burroughs fan I thought it did justice to the book although it did not catch on with the general public.I suppose Burroughs science fiction would appeal to the retro sci-fi enthusiasts of steam punk so like the sci-fi of Wells,Verne and Conan Doyle it will hopefully survive in a niche market.The audience of teenage boys who once lapped up such fictions I presume now do little reading instead playing fantasy and science fiction video games and watching DVDs on such themes.Since the Disney animation of the 1990s Hollywood seems to have finally lost interest in Tarzan.Probably the whole Tarzan theme is now too un- PC for them to touch anymore.A shame really as like Dracula and Sherlock Homes he was once a character familiar to everyone.
