Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Wolfen by Whitley Strieber Literature / Wolfen Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Wolfen by Whitley Strieber Literature / Wolfen. The Wolfen is a 1978 horror novel by Whitley Strieber. Written as an investigative novel, it pits the main characters in what turns out to be a fight for their very lives. The novel was adapted into a movie in 1981 as Wolfen . The film took plenty of changes from the source, the most important being the changing of the concept of what the titular creatures are. The novel contains examples of: Black Comedy: There are some moments of this. Buddy Cop Show: Our two human leads have this dynamic. Chase Scene: The Wolfen naturally chase their new prey throughout the book. Defiant to the End: The Wolfen realize that they have been revealed, and let out a defiant howl. Dozens of packs across the city join in. Disposable Vagrant: The Wolfen pretty much survive by eating whoever this trope defines based on where they live and when they live. The Wolfen. The Wolfen have lived and fed on humanity for thousands of years. They are hideously ugly and utterly savage but relentless and smart. Two cops, a man and a woman, who are bound together in a strange love and hate relationship have experienced the full awful horror of the Wolfen. Read More.

His books The Wolfen , The Hunger , Communion , and The Coming Global Superstorm (as The Day After Tomorrow ) were all made into feature films. His sci-fi series Alien Hunter became the SyFy Channel series Hunters . In 1985, Whitley had a close encounter of the third kind. It led to the writing of the epic bestseller Communion that changed the way the world thinks about this enigmatic experience. When he eventually realized that the experience could not be attributed to known factors, he began making an effort to recontact what he calls “the visitors.” The response has been ongoing for the past thirty years, and has been chronicled in Communion , Transformation , Majestic , and now A New World . Many people have encountered the visitors with Whitley, placing it among the most witnessed paranormal events in history. His website, unknowncountry.com, is among the largest in the world dealing with paranormal phenomena and his podcast, Dreamland , has been produced weekly for twenty years. Author Alerts.

  • Transformation the Breakthrough Whitley Strieber
    TRANSFORMATION THE BREAKTHROUGH WHITLEY STRIEBER On February 10, 1987, one of the most star­ tling and controversial books of our time was published: Whitley Strieber's Commu­ nion. In Communion, Whitley Strieber de­ scribed the shattering effects of an assault from the unknown-what seemed to be an encounter with intelligent nonhuman beings. Transformation is the chronicle of his effort to form a relationship with the unknown reality he has come to call"the visitors." After writing Communion, Whitley Strie­ ber firmly expected that his encounters with the "visitors" would end. They did not. At first he was desperate and terrified. He struggled frantically to push the visitors out of his life, to prove to himself that they were figments of his imagination, that they were anything but a reality separate from himself. He was finally forced to admit, because of their persistence and the undeniably intelli­ gent structure of their encounters with him, that they had to be a genuine mystery, an intelligence of unknown nature and origin. Whitley began to challenge his fear of the visitors, to try to confront them with objec­ tivity, in an effort to gain real insight into their impact on our lives. The more he did this, he found, the deeper and richer his ex­ perience became. Do the visitors represent a force that has been with mankind throughout history? Has it played an absolutely central role in alter­ ing human culture? Has a conscious force (continued on backflap) Book Club Edition TRANSFORMATI ON By Whitley Strieber As Author: Transformation Communion Wo lfof Shadows Catmagic Th e Night Church Black Magic The Hunger The Wolfen As Co-Author: Nature's End Wa rday Whitley Strieber TRANSFORMATION The Breakthrough BEECH TREE BOOKS WILLIAM MOR ROW New York Copyright C 1988 by Wilson & Neff, Inc.

  • The Shape of the Werewolf
    The Development of the Literary Werewolf: Language, Subjectivity and Animal/ Human Boundaries Kaja Franck Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy November 2016 Abstract The werewolf is a stock character in Gothic horror, exemplifying humanity’s fear of ‘the beast within’, and a return to a bestial state of being. Central to this is the idea that the werewolf is, once transformed, without language. Using an ecoGothic approach, this thesis will offer a new approach in literary criticism regarding the werewolf. It argues that the werewolf has become a vehicle for our ambivalence towards the wolf, which itself has become a symbolic Gothic Other. Using interdisciplinary source materials, such as natural histories, fairy tales, and folklore, the notion of the ‘symbolic wolf’ is interrogated, particularly in relation to the dangers of the wilderness. Starting with Dracula, at the end of the nineteenth century, and finishing with an analysis of the contemporary, literary werewolf, this work explores how the relationship between humans and wolves has impacted on the representation of the werewolf in fiction. In particular, it will critique how the destruction of the werewolf is achieved through containing the creature using taxonomic knowledge, in order to objectify it, before destroying it. This precludes the possibility of the werewolf retaining subjectivity and reinforces the stereotype of the werewolf as voiceless. Following the growing awareness of environmentalism during the late twentieth century and, as humanity questions our relationship with nature, clear divides between the animal and the human seem arbitrary, and the werewolf no longer remains the monstrous object within the text.

  • The Village Alien
    On SF by Thomas M. Disch http://www.press.umich.edu/titleDetailDesc.do?id=124446 The University of Michigan Press, 2005 The Village Alien If Whitley Strieber isn’t ‹bbing in his new book, Communion (and the book’s cover boldly af‹rms that it is “A True Story”), then it must be accounted the most important book of the year, of the decade, of the cen- tury, indeed, of all time. For what Strieber recounts in Communion is noth- ing less than the ‹rst contact of the human race, in the person of Whitley Strieber, with an ancient alien civilization that abducted him from his cabin in the Catskills on the nights of October 4 and December 26, 1985 (and on various other occasions over the years), and took him aboard a ›ying saucer, where he communicated with a variety of alien beings and was subjected to surgical and sexual indignities. To cover their tracks the alien abductors then implanted false “screen memories” in Strieber’s mind (as they have been doing, he has come to suspect, throughout his life). Only later, in March 1986, did hypnosis reveal the true character of what had happened to him. There have been other, similar reports of UFO sightings and contact with aliens, but Strieber’s is unique in two important respects. First, as he notes himself, “If mine is a real experience of visitors, it is among the deepest and most extensive as yet recorded.” Second, this is the ‹rst time a best-selling author has written his own extensive, ‹rsthand account of a UFO experience.

  • Strieber, Whitley
    Communion by Whitley Strieber #STWH-001 May, 2000 "IF WHITLEY STRIEBER ISN'T FIBBING IN HIS NEW BOOK COMMUNION… THEN IT MUST BE ACCOUNTED THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOK OF THE YEAR, OF THE DECADE. OF THE CENTURY..." The Nation On December 26, 1985, at a secluded cabin in upstate New York, Whitley Strieber went skiing with his wife and son, ate Christmas dinner leftovers, and went to bed early. Six hours later, he found himself suddenly awake... and forever changed. Thus begins the most astonishing true-life odyssey ever recorded-one man's riveting account of his extraordinary experiences with visitors from "elsewhere"...how they found him, where they took him, what They did to him and why... Believe it. Or don't believe it. But read it — for this gripping story will move you like no other... will fascinate you, terrify you, and alter the way you experience your world. When you read this incredible story, do not be too skeptical; somewhere in your own past there may be some lost hour or strange recollection that means that you also have had this experience. This book is about forming a new relationship with the unknown. Instead of shunning the darkness, we can face straight into it with an open mind When we do that, the unknown changes. Fearful things become understandable and a truth is suggested; the enigmatic presence of the human mind winks back from the dark. WHITLEY STRIEBER To the ones who have slipped into the mirror And the ones who reflect it in their eyes To the ones who must hide everything, And the ones who lose what they hide.

  • Whitley Strieber Oral History Interview
    Archives of the Impossible oral history interviews Subject: Whitley Strieber Interviewer: Thomas Millary Location: online via Zoom Date: August 18, 2020 Duration: 00:40:12 Thomas Millary: All right, we are recording. So, for those listening or watching, my name is Thomas Millary. I am presently a PhD student in the Rice University Department of Religion, and I am among those working on the Archives of the Impossible, a series of collections of materials related to the paranormal, the fantastic, the anomalous, and I'm here right now with Whitley Strieber, one of our donors, and we're going to have a conversation about his life, his work, and this collection. Whitley is a prolific author of both fiction and non-fiction and among the world's most famous experiencers of the kind of paranormal and spiritual phenomena that the Archives of Impossible are all about and we're very excited to have his collection as part of the archives. Before we go on, Whitley, would you like to introduce yourself further at all? Whitley Strieber: I'm most recently the author of A New World. Prior to that The Afterlife Revolution. I am working on a book about Jesus, which should be out and about 6 months from now in the summer of 2020, August of 2020. That's about it. Thomas Millary: Excellent. We'll be looking forward to that. So, starting with the collection itself. The collection that you have donated, it entails a stunning amount of letters that you had received, related to your experiences. So, could you just begin with that, and talk about the scope of the response that you've received to Communion, your communion experiences, and then the history of that collection and the process of maintaining it and organizing it? Could you talk about the letters themselves? Whitley Strieber: All right.
