Herman Eikelboom | 2 comments I have read this short story several years ago in a bundle of science fiction short stories. Since this story really made an impact on me I would like to read it again. Is there anyone that can tell me the Title and author?
Thanks!

Denis DeLong | 211 comments I believe this is "Of Missing Persons" by Jack Finney; I myself read it in one of the Alfred Hitchcock anthologies.

Denis DeLong | 211 comments It's available to read for free on at least two or three web archives; google the title and author and it will give you some websites.
