Lorelei of the Red Mist – Planet Stories Summer 1946 Brackett & Bradbury

A muscular hero clutches an unconscious red-haired woman in his arms as he hauls himself over the gunwale of a boat, his expression fierce and desperate. Behind him, a ship capsizes on a blood-red alien sea beneath a darkening sky, while grotesque green alien creatures lie defeated at his feet. This is Leigh Brackett and Ray Bradbury's planetary romance at its most visceral — survival snatched from catastrophe on a world of crimson oceans and savage beings.
