One of Martin's early stories, which was nominated for two major science fiction awards, the Nebula and the Hugo. A fascinating and slightly melancholic story about the confrontation between two worlds: the real one - in which there is no place for understatement, and the fictional one - full of secrets and intimate experiences of people endowed with the ability to subtly feel the world. The main character - a journalist - flies to the planet "Ghost World" to write about a scientific expedition that undertook to prove or disprove the existence of certain “ghosts” that occasionally abduct people in the fog. Is it necessary to study absolutely everything, perhaps some things or events should remain mysterious to make life more interesting?
