Whitley Strieber

En 1987, Whitley Strieber, un reconocido escritor de thrillers y novelas de terror, irrumpe con "Comunión", un libro donde desde la No Ficción recoge sus vivencias e interacciones con unas entidades no humanas. Lo que en un principio podria leerse como otro inquietante relato de abduccion extraterrestre, en manos del autor se convierte en un viaje intimo y trascendental. De la noche a la mañana, impulsado por una portada que es parte integral de la obra, la obra se convierte en todo un fenomeno editorial, traducido en multitud de idiomas y siendo adaptada al cine. El libro tambien sirvio para situar bajo el foco mediatico el fenomeno de la abduccion: personas que afirman haber sido raptadas por extraterrestres. Strieber dedica buena parte del libro a reivindicar que estas personas sean escuchadas y atendidas de forma adecuada. Comunion es una de las obras ineludibles de la ufologia tanto por su contenido como por su alcance. Ampliamente cuestionada, tanto por el escepticismo como por el propio forteanismo, la obra sigue desasosegando y fascinando, a partes iguales, decadas despues de su publicacion. Strieber ha defendido siempre la verosimilitud de su obra, la cual ha tenido distintas secuelas en las que ha profundizado en el significado de su vivencia inicial, asi como de otras experiencias posteriores, igualmente extraordinarias. "Comunion. Una Historia Verdadera" fue publicado en España en 1988 y ahora en 2018 es reeditado por Reediciones Anomalas con una nueva traduccion, y con un prologo del escritor y periodista Javier Sierra.

The long-awaited sequel to "The Hunger" is now in paperback. Vampire hunter Paul Ward closes in on the long-standing object of his pursuit: Miriam Blaylock, the eternal predator whose beauty is surpassed only by her thirst for blood. Yet Miriam has her own plans for Paul--a diabolical plot using him as the means for birthing a new race of vampires. Following on the heels of the highly successful The Hunger, Whitley Strieber continues the deliriously horrifying vampire saga. Vampire hunter Paul Ward is closing in on the long-standing object of his pursuit: Miriam Blaylock, the eternal predator whose beauty and guile are surpassed only by her thirst for blood. Yet, Miriam has her own plans for Paul -- a diabolical plot using him as the means for birthing a new race of vampires. As the chase moves from Thailand to Paris to New York, the line between predator and prey blurs, and the hunt for the last vampire ensues.

The planet is warming up and as the ice caps melt, the great currents of the oceans shift and the Northern Hemisphere is plunged into a new ice age. One scientist has the key to turning back the clock of global warming. But as Western civilisation succumbs to blizzards and tidal waves and the population of the Northern hemisphere begins a mass exodus south, mankinds only saviour is making a lonely, terror-filled trip north. To a New York disappearing under snowdrifts hundreds of feet high. The city where his son was last heard of.

Eternal youth is a wonderful thing for the few who have it, but for Miriam Blaylock, it is a curse -- an existence marred by death and sorrow. Because for the everlasting Miriam, everyone she loves withers and dies. Now, haunted by signs of her adoring husbands imminent demise, Miriam sets out in serach of a new partner, one who can quench her thirst for love and withstand the test of time. She finds it in the beautiful Sarah Roberts, a brilliant young scientist who may hold the secret to immortality. But one thing stands between the intoxicating Miriam Blaylock and the object of her desire: Dr. Tom Haver...and hes about to realize that love and death to hand in hand.

An ancient vampire, beautiful beyond words, a vulnerable young man drawn to her by a power beyond his understanding, two desperate parents searching across the world for the son they love -- these are the riveting, unexpected elements of Whitley Striebers extraordinary new novel. Lilith, the ages-old mother of the dying race of vampires, has been forced to come out of her cave deep in the Egyptian desert in search of food -- human blood. But she knows nothing about the modern world. She cant drive a car, rent a room, turn on a TV. She struggles to New York, penniless, vulnerable, and starving, protected only by her beauty and her power to capture men with desire...especially certain very special men. The instant she sees young Ian Ward, she knows that he is part vampire himself. She knows that Ian, if he ever tastes human blood, will belong to her forever. And she needs him desperately, to help her survive and live in this harsh new world of jets and credit cards and guns. She sets out on a campaign of seduction -- as sensuous as it is terrifying -- to touch human blood to Ians lips, which will then become for him a drug a thousand times more addictive than heroin. Ians father, Paul Ward, part vampire turned expert and obsessive hunter of vampires, knows that if the blood transforms Ian, Paul will have to kill his own son. The titanic conflict between father and son and seductress, hunter and hunted and huntress, comes to its surprise conclusion in the secret chambers beneath the great pyramids, where the hidden truths of all human history are stored. From its beginning in the dark back alleys of Cairo to its totally unexpected ending, Liliths Dream draws the reader down seductive new paths of discovery, into places where no novel has ever before. With Liliths Dream Whitley Strieber has created a vampire so original and a story so new that he has virtually invented a new genre.

Killer tornadoes. Violent tropical storms. Devastating temperatures. Are these just the prelude to an unprecedented environmental disaster in our near future? Two of Americas leading investigators of unexplained phenomena -- Art Bell, the top-rated late-night radio talk-show host, and Whitley Strieber, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of Communion and the legendary Natures End -- have made a shocking discovery based on years of research with top scientists and archaeologists from around the world. Now, they reveal what powerful interests are trying to keep hidden: rapid changes in the atmosphere caused by greenhouse gases have set humanity on an incredibly dangerous course toward a catastrophic change in climate in the immediate future. It will begin with a massive, unprecedented storm that will devastate the Northern Hemisphere. This will be followed by floods unlike anything ever seen before -- or perhaps a new Ice Age. They also unearth evidence that this has happened in the past -- in fact, that it has occurred regularly throughout geologic history, but so infrequently that our only record of the last such storm is contained in ancient myths and flood legends. From El Niño to the African droughts, to the shrinking of the polar ice caps, Bell and Strieber identify the warning signs to those willing to see. They point out that the Earths regulatory system is like a rubber band: you can stretch it just so far before it snaps back -- with a vengeance. Since 1995, each successive year has set new records for violent weather. In 1999 a major climatological study predicted that the Earth will soon be warmer than it has been in millions of years. Bell and Strieber tell us why they believe a rebound is imminent -- a rapid and violent cooling that will cover the Northern Hemisphere in a sheath of choking ice and snow. But its not too late to reverse our destiny. No mere harbinger of an inevitable doomsday, The Coming Global Superstorm is instead a spirited call to action that offers a wealth of viable solutions to this mammoth challenge to humankind. Through a careful and impressively researched dissection of the myths and legends of ancient cultures and an insightful examination of the best of modern environmental science, Bell and Strieber guide us on an intellectual journey as dark as the murky origins of man and as bright as the promise of an interstellar future.
