Count me as another “scared the bejezus out of me, still turn the book over” Communion reader.

How could the publishers not use “the face that launched a million sales” (or however many were sold).

This book inspired my video “Missing Time: Take Me Home”

Kithra,
What it may be telling is sometime some where something went down. Only thing that I can recollected to possibly link the weird (memory) fear when and after ready communion is: It was the night before christmas when all through the house nothing was stirring not even a mouse. Me and my bro were all too awake with many questions to each other of what we might get for christmas. All of a sudden what was it that we were to hear; but, two sets of foot steps walking above or heads walking towards us up in the attic. Instant fear did grip me and last thought was to scream. Next to happen was we woke up with no fears or memory of the above and previous oddity. It must of been 10 or more years I asked my brother if he remembered what happen that xmas eve after we heard the set of foot steps in the attic. Quick with no hesitation he did state,”Don’t you remember we woke up and opened our presents”. For all the sceptics we will call it false childhood memories. To the open minded we will call it the possibility of missing time. Have no memory of those greys in elf suits though. Life is a mystery.

Look people — especially publishers — PLEASE REISSUE JOHN KEEL’S JADOO. This goes out to Patrick (Anomalist), Phyllis (Galde), Mitch Horowitz (Penguin), etc.

Keel’s Jadoo is infinitely better than Communion.

Thanks for the tip BenDoverEsq, that was a great interview -although Whitley revealed WAY TOO MUCH of the plot for my taste :-(.

I notice also that the cover of the book has changed. My copy does not have that hawk black outline, so I’m guessing mine is an earlier print;also because in the back there are a lot of reviews, but they talk about the PREVIOUS book of Whitley, The Grays (!). I’m guessing that the hawk is a symbol for the egyptian god Horus…

Well, The Grays and 2012 are both going to hit the theaters as movies (hopefully); and with all the other movies dealing with the paranormal (The Day the Earth stood still, the new Indy movie, the new X Files movie, etc etc), I’m thinking that, at least until 2012, we UFO buffs are really going to get our cultural recognition as COOL, just as Greg Bishop wished for

Yes, I hate the sight of any Grays as well. And when I read Communion I too had to put it down face down. In fact I can’t bear to see any pics of them, and when I come across them in books and magazines I tend to blank them out with plain sticky labels. So what does that tell you? Although I have absolutely no memory of every having been abducted!

I’m amazed this book ever went out of print. This has to be the all time biggest selling book dealing with the ufo subject- I can’t think of anything that would even come close. It seems like everyone was aware of this book when it first came out. I remember sitting in a Biscuitville reading parts of it- LOL! And that cover, Richelle makes a good point as to why they had to change it, but the original will never be topped.
As far as red pill junkie mentioning 2012 The War for Souls. If you get a chance check out, it’s not really a interview, but when that 2012 book came out Whitley spent about two hours talking about his experiences on his show. Someone has uploaded that to YouTube. Just do a search for “Whitley Strieber 2012″ and you will find it- I think it’s in 11 parts or so. I found it extremely interesting.

Ha how odd… I was just thinking about this book a few days ago and wondering if one could still get a copy.

I echo the comments on the bland cover.

Keeping the light on because your afraid is no laughing matter, nor is sitting on a toilet while taking a desperate pee shaking and praying in mantras, â€œPlease donâ€™t take me now, please donâ€™t take me now…â€ all because youâ€™re aware that the neighbors are outside gawking at the UFO hovering over your house!

Being afraid is never, ever a laughing matter. But, truthfully, sometimes I can laugh now when I think back to that time on the toilet.
