Summary

"Terror Out of Space" by Leigh Brackett is a science fiction tale that descends into the black, forbidding seas of Venus, where a pilot named Lundy from the Tri-World Police is thrust into a harrowing battle against a mind-bending alien entity. The story examines the seductive and destructive power of an alien presence, known only as "It," who captivates men's minds with visions of veiled beauty, driving them to the brink of madness and obsession. Lundy must face his deepest fears as he navigates the enigmatic undersea world, striving to remain grounded in reality while resisting the hypnotic allure of the alien being, ultimately unveiling the terrifying truth about longing and the price of chasing unattainable desires.
