Mahar's Stare


"Still the girl advanced, chained by that clammy eye."

Second in my thesis focusing on the works of Edgar Rice Burroughs, this time focusing on Pellucidar, the first series of his I read. I was in the 6th grade, I think. Leave it to Burroughs to make the idea of telepathic pterosaurs sound awesome, in the same way a giant jet-powered turtle is awesome. The Mahars were kind of like steampunk Skeksis in a way. I even enjoyed that movie from the 70s with Peter Cushing, of course Caroline Munro helped.
