"Shambleau" by C. L. Moore

A rogue adventurer meets a woman with snakes for hair, and he falls under her seductive spell. Luckily, a friend gives our hero a heads up: don't look in her eyes for that leads only to certain doom. No, we aren't talking about the legend of Perseus and Medusa. This is a space adventure story set on Mars, and written by C L Moore.
