David Paulides’ book series (2011 onward) documenting clusters of wilderness disappearances, many near National Forests, with recurring features he emphasises: dogs that will not track, discarded footwear, remains found in previously searched areas. Critics attribute the patterns to selection from ordinary missing-person data. Closer Encounters adopts the corpus wholesale and reads the disappearances as time slips, people who stepped into another then.
