ABOUT WHITLEY

Whitley Strieber began his career as an author with his novel "The Wolfen", followed by the vampire classic "The Hunger", the provocative thrillers "Warday" and "Superstorm" and many other works of fiction. In 1987, he published "Communion", describing an apparent close encounter of the third kind. All of these books were made into feature films, and he was also the presenter of the NBC documentary "Confirmation" and author of the book of the same title.

After his close encounter experience, Whitley began attempting to reconnect with the unusual presence that had awakened him on the fateful night of December 26, 1985, and opened a new world to him. He also embarked on a wide-ranging research effort that eventually led to some of the only real scientific studies of anomalous materials ever undertaken.

As his encounters with what he has come to call ‘the visitors’ continued, he wrote two follow-up books, "Transformation" and "Breakthrough". Although his experiences continued for a further 11 years, he wrote nothing more but rather concentrated on research and understanding, seeking to gain deeper insight into the experience.

"Solving the Communion Enigma" is the result of the years-long effort he has made to break truly new ground and genuinely advance understanding of what is the most important, most complex and least understood enigma that mankind has ever faced.

Whitley Strieber is also the creator of the website Unknowncountry.com, which is the largest edge science website in the world. His radio program, Dreamland, can be heard on Unknowncountry.com and on iTunes, as well as on many smartphone radio apps. With an audience of over 250,000, it is among the most popular of all podcast radio programs.

Whitley is married to author and Unknowncountry.com editor-in-chief Anne Strieber. They divide their time between California, Texas and New York.
