Lorelei of the Red Mist

<p><strong>A haunting tale of possession and planetary decadence from Leigh Brackett and Ray Bradbury set upon a dreamlike and dying Mars.</strong></p><p>In <em>Lorelei of the Red Mist</em> 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.</p><p>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.</p><p>First published during the Golden Age of science fiction <em>Lorelei of the Red Mist</em> stands as a memorable collaboration between two of the genre's most evocative voices.</p><p>Explore other exciting Positronic Books devoted to classic science fiction fantasy and mystery.</p>
