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.
