I think the first novel I remember reading was Abraham Merrit's Dwellers in the Mirage. I was 11.
I've read two of his other novels but Dwellers is the best one. It's not science-fiction but Lost World science-fantasy.
It's got tenacled monsters who want maidens sacrificed to him, seductive witch-women, and battles galore. Blood, Beasts and Breasts, as Joe Bob Briggs said is essential to good movies and good literature.
He was of course right!
