Summary "Out of This World" by Henry Hasse is a science fiction novella published in the early 1940s, during the burgeoning era of pulp magazines. Set primarily on a harsh prison planet orbiting Jupiter, the story follows the grim existence of inmates under the tyrannical rule of the sadistic overseer, Marnick. The narrative grapples with themes of vengeance, survival, and the psychological toll of oppression. The plot centers around the protagonist, Reed, and his fellow miners who toil in subjugation under Marnick, whose cruel delights include torture and surveillance. As tensions rise among the prisoners, led by the furious McGowan, a plan for escape and revenge against Marnick begins to take shape. The story culminates in a tense climax when the group confronts Marnick, revealing shocking connections between the characters that culminate in tragedy. Themes of madness, moral ambiguity, and the complex nature of revenge weave throughout, making the book a powerful commentary on the human condition in dire circumstances.
