Welcome to Phantom Bookshop's Edgar Rice Burroughs' Web Site. Here we will attempt to present the life and works of the most gifted imaginative author in American history, who virtually has influenced every science fiction and fantasy author this country has produced. His influence is still felt to this day with his creations such as "Tarzan of The Apes," "John Carter of Mars," "Carson Napier of Venus," "David Innes of Pellucidar," and many other notable characters such as Billy Byrne  and David Innes. All these character have had, to some extent, an influence on American literature.
