"Forgotten Tales of Love and Murder" is a collection of short stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs, edited by Patrick H. Adkins and illustrated by Danny Frolich. It was first published in hardcover in 2001 by Guidry & Adkins, a publishing partnership of Burroughs fans John H. Guidry and Patrick H. Adkins, as part of their "Tarzana Project," intended to bring into print all the author's previously unpublished or uncollected works.

The book collects eighteen stories by Burroughs, together with a spoof autobiographical piece and an introduction by the editor. The pieces vary in tone and genre, spanning the author's entire career, and represent essentially all of his short works not previously collected in book form.
