Eye (1985) is a collection of 13 short stories written by science fiction author Frank Herbert. All of the works had been previously published in magazine or book form, except for "The Road to Dune".

Herbert discusses David Lynch's film Dune and his own participation in the production, and lists scenes that were shot, but cut from the released version.

Psychological thriller originally serialized as Under Pressure in Astounding magazine from December 1955 through February 1956, then reworked and published as a book in 1956.

First appearing in Fantastic Universe magazine in 1958, this short story is notable for the introduction of the character Jorj X. McKie, saboteur extraordinaire.

First appearing in Galaxy Science Fiction magazine in 1964 and later republished in The Worlds of Frank Herbert in 1971, this novelette is notable for establishing the setting for Herbert's ConSentiency universe.

Set in Herbert's Dune universe, this short work takes the form of a guidebook for pilgrims to the planet Arrakis, illustrated by Welsh artist Jim Burns. The work takes place after the fall of Padishah Emperor Shaddam IV and the ascension of Paul Atreides to the throne in the 1965 novel Dune. "The Road to Dune" discusses the major sights in the capital city, Arrakeen, including the Grand Palace and Temple of Alia. It also features images (with descriptions) of some of the devices and characters presented in the novels, including Paul's personal ornithopter, an Ixian glowglobe, Princess Irulan, Duncan Idaho, and Reverend Mother Mohiam.
