and now, for the lusty month of May...

Time for the ritual of flipping my office's calendar to the new month. May's art, taken from Planet Stories's September 1951 issue, illustrates "The Incubi of Parallel X":

"The Ffanx had abducted Earth's womankind. A few escaped - to become beautiful, trampling, man-stealing monsters."

That explains why a tank-topped dark-blue giantess is holding in her hand a tiny man pointing his ineffectual... ah... raygun at her. Not exactly the kind of fare one usually expects from Ted Sturgeon.

Of course, this is not the story I remember.

I take it that neither the art nor the blurb accurately describe the tale.
