The previous selections on this list are works of fiction. But when we talk about alien abduction books, it’s an oversight to ignore the vast number of allegedly true accounts. And, arguably, the most famous of these books is Whitley Strieber’s Communion.
Strieber is an established horror writer, and some of his novels like The Wolfen and The Hunger were even adapted into movies. Given that, this book elicits a lot of skepticism. There have been many instances of fictionalized memoirs, this one just involves aliens.
Even if we approach this non-fiction account as true, it does present a well-written example from this category. Strieber recounts his own personal experiences but also includes an overview of the alleged alien abduction phenomenon, which is useful for readers less versed in this corner of the paranormal and unexplained.
