The Strange Disappearance and Equally Strange Reappearance of David Gerrold

David Gerrold writes to his editor about his bizarre peripatetic journey through the northwest wilderness and his accidental encounter with one of the legendary “green people” and his even more bizarre trek to uncover the truth behind the mystery. Originally published in two parts in the January 2007 and the April 2007 issues of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, this novelette reveals the author’s keen eye for detail as well as his mordant sense of humor. A deliciously vicious journey! Warning! There are terrible puns in this tale.
