File Under: Ufology, Forteana

Blurb: On December 26, 1985, at a secluded cabin in upstate New York, Whitley Strieber went skiing with his wife and son, ate Christmas dinner leftovers, and went to bed early.

Six hours later, he found himself suddenly awake...and forever changed.

Thus begins the most astonishing true-life odyssey ever recorded -- one man's riveting account of his extraordinary experiences with visitors from "elsewhere" ...how they found him, where they took him, what they did to him and why...

Believe it. Or don't believe it. But read it -- for this gripping story will move you like no other...will fascinate you, terrify you, and alter the way you experience your world.

My Thoughts: This is essential reading for anyone interested in "alien abduction" phenomena or Forteana in general. Strieber's account (if it is that) was sort of a cultural springboard for ETs and the folks who claim to be probed by them. Strieber leaves his analysis of the events described in _Communion_ open-ended. Recommended.
