![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() I think my father must have considered the story for inclusion in Ghosts & More Ghosts, because the copy I discovered was xeroxed, with the first page rolled into the platen of Dad's Underwood typewriter so that he could X out the story's original title and type above it in block letters "Elmer and the Unhappy Genii."ĭad would have experimented with a new title if he'd been intending to send the story to an editor-probably his Random House editor, Walter Retan-with the suggestion that the story be included in an anthology under a new title. "The Aggravation of Elmer" is a comic science fiction/fantasy story originally published in Galaxy Science Fiction in May of 1955, and I never even read it until the fall of 2020, when I was going through my father's tear sheets looking for stories I might have missed. ![]()
