  • The Land That Time Forgot
    Edgar Rice Burroughs
    It must have been a little after three o’clock in the afternoon that it happened - the afternoon of June 3rd, 1916. It seems incredible that all that I have passed through - all those weird and terrifying experiences - should have been encompassed within so short a span as three brief months. Rather might I have experienced a cosmic cycle, with all its changes and evolutions fo...

  • The Oakdale Affair
    Edgar Rice Burroughs
    [T]he THING moved down the hallway to the closed door. The dragging chain marked each foot of its advance. If it made other sounds they were drowned by the clanking of the links over the time roughened flooring.Within the room the five were frozen into utter silence, and beyond the door an equal quiet prevailed for a long minute; then a great force made the door creak and a wei...

  • The Outlaw of Torn

    'This Peter of Colfax shall be looked to,' growled Norman of Torn. 'And as you have refused his heart and hand, his head shall be yours for the asking.

  • The Lost Continent
    Edgar Rice Burroughs
    I could not repress a sigh at the thought of the havoc war had wrought in this part of England, at least. Farther east, nearer London, we should find things very different. There would be the civilization that two centuries must have wrought upon our English cousins as they had upon us. There would be mighty cities, cultivated fields, happy people. There we would be welcomed as...

  • Out of Time’s Abyss
    Edgar Rice Burroughs
    It was a constant battle while they dug a grave and consigned all that was mortal of John Tippet to his last, lonely resting-place. Nor would they leave then; but remained to fashion a rude headstone from a crumbling out-cropping of sandstone and to gather a mass of the gorgeous flowers growing in such great profusion around them and heap the new-made grave with bright blooms. ...
