Whitley Strieber: Horror writer... i Thing(amabrarian)s That Go Bump in the Night (januari 2009)

Recensioner

Surprisingly grounded book on various aspects of the UFO phenomenon. It is well-researched and also introduces the reader to the opinions, speculations and conclusions of other well-known researchers in the field such as Jacques Vallee and more. All in all, a well-rounded, quite encompassing and most of all very up-to-date work of non-fiction on a topic that is well on its way to getting its well-known recognition as a serious research item.

Communion is Strieber's autobiographical accounts of his abductions and interactions with aliens. The book describes what he is convinced are real events spread over many years.
This was a disappointing addition to Strieber's body of work. He's an excellent horror author. I tried to imagine this as just another horror story by him with a false framing story for verisimilitude, despite knowing going in that he truly believes in the abductions and alien interactions described therein. I even have some old pictures of my father reading this and tried to think of it as a way of connecting back to his experiences as a reader. I couldn't do it. I couldn't take it seriously. What I'm sure was supposed to feel menacing felt silly, what was supposed to feel hopeful felt ludicrous. The recovered memory tropes don't work as we know in the field of psychology that they're virtually always fictitious. The conspiracy theories and paranoia come across as mentally ill.
I guess, if you consider yourself a survivor of these sorts of abductions you'll probably enjoy this. It just makes me feel sad for Strieber though.

Classed as YA but a very grim book of the aftermath of nuclear war, with nuclear winter and a mother and child having to be 'adopted' by a wolf pack to have any chance of survival with even the animals being picked off gradually. Very sad.
