New John Carter stories for 100th Anniversary of A Princess of Mars

Wow, 100 years old. I loved the John Carter stories as a kid. [Link]

The classic John Carter of Mars saga is having its 100th anniversary in February 2012, and he's getting a new movie in March. Celebrate John Carter's birthday with a whole new book of Barsoom stories.

A new anthology, featuring all new stories of John Carter, Tars Tarkas and Dejah Thoris, will come out in time for the centenary of Edgar Rice Burroughs' famous work. It's being edited by anthology editor extraordinaire John Joseph Adams, who co-hosts the Geek's Guide to the Galaxy podcast here on io9, and contributors include Austin Grossman, Peter S. Beagle and Catherynne M. Valente.

We have a movie coming out in 2012 as well, Pixar's first live action film. [Link]
