You’ve heard about girls like Happy
That sounded like a zombie story to me. But when I received the magazine and read it I found out “the everlasting dead” were not “living dead.” They’re dead dead. They’re the bodies of unfortunate victims of a South Seas tribe that likes to preserve the sacrificial victims they use in their tribal ceremonies. Ah well, the cover painting is still very cool — and so is the interior artwork for the story, which is titled “Ordeal on the Isle of the Everlasting Dead.”
Also includes How — When — Where: You Can Fight For Fortune Under Foreign Flags, and The Diet That Can Double Your Sexual Batting Average!
Something had upset the natural laws of the universe
Desperately, passionately in love with Randy, Jerry though he had found happiness — until he ran headlong into a leather-jacketed band of cruel, lusting wanton, twisted he-women… one of whom wanted Randy even more than he!
Doug Weaver‘s classic cover art was later reused for Satan Was A Lesbian. Not related to the Spicy Mystery story of the same name.
They were twilight lovers in the world between the sexes

BARRY—who has sworn off females till he is forced to prove to Anita that she is a normal woman — and to Lavinia that she is not…
These three form the explosive triangle that gives thrust to this electrifying novel about the private, off-beat lives of Manhattan’s glamorous career girls.
