Lorelei of the Red Mist: A Positronic Book

By Leigh Brackett, Ray D. Bradbury, Ray Bradbury

Book Overview

A haunting tale of possession and planetary decadence from Leigh Brackett and Ray Bradbury, set upon a dreamlike and dying Mars.

In Lorelei of the Red Mist, Leigh Brackett and Ray Bradbury combine their distinctive talents in a story of identity, desire, and survival on the fringes of civilisation. When Hugh Starke, a reckless Earthman, seeks refuge on a decadent Martian outpost, he becomes entangled in forces older and stranger than he understands. In the crimson haze of a dying world, personality and power shift in unsettling ways, and the boundary between self and other begins to dissolve.

Brackett's atmospheric Mars-rich with ancient cultures and fatal beauty-meets Bradbury's lyrical intensity in a narrative that blends planetary romance with psychological fantasy. The result is a tale at once exotic and intimate, moving from sensual decadence to existential reckoning against a backdrop of wind-scoured ruins and fading empires.

First published during the Golden Age of science fiction, Lorelei of the Red Mist stands as a memorable collaboration between two of the genre's most evocative voices.
