Whitley Strieber

Whitley Strieber is a prolific American author, born in 1945, best known for his work in the horror, science fiction, fantasy, and thriller genres. He has written over 40 books, including the popular fictional horror novels "The Hunger" and "The Wolfen." Strieber's writing career began with "The Wolfen" in 1979, and he has since become a New York Times bestselling author. He lives in California with his wife and frequent collaborator, Anne.

In addition to his fictional works, Strieber is also known for his non-fiction books, particularly those dealing with paranormal topics. His experiences as an abductee by what he calls "visitors" have inspired the "Communion" series, though he does not conclude that these visitors are necessarily extraterrestrial in origin. Strieber's open-mindedness and willingness to explore the unexplained have made him a frequent guest on radio shows such as "Coast to Coast AM," and he hosts his own podcast, "Dreamland."

Strieber's work extends beyond literature and radio, with several of his books being adapted into films, including "The Wolfen," "The Hunger," and "Communion." His writing has also delved into areas such as sudden climate change, as seen in his co-authored book with Art Bell, "The Coming Global Superstorm," which inspired the film "The Day After Tomorrow." Strieber's website, Unknowncountry.com, is a hub for his podcast, Dreamland, and offers extensive social media platforms for both subscribers and non-subscribers. He continues to explore the credible edge of science and reality through his writing and online presence.
