Gentle Invaders

by Hans Stefan Santesson (editor), Leigh Brackett, Miriam Allen deFord

PRE-ISBN

From the back cover

“ The Alien

is most often described by science fictionists as a horror-inspiring monster with insidiously evil intentions.

Our monsters are different.

There is a lady fetchingly endowed with some of the more alluring female attributes, who is sent from Galaxy Center to teach Earthlings about love … but her methods are rather unorthodox.

And a strange looking red-headed man who does even stranger things to television sets.

And a man from Mars who discovered how to make a fortune on Earth.”

Good concept, mostly fun execution. Would love to see a modern collection like this.
