From Marvin's list on exploring UFOs and alien topics.
Over the thirty-odd years since its publication, Strieberās haunting story of his own encounters with strange creaturesāperhaps from outer space, perhaps from another layer of reality, perhaps from his own mindāhas become the most popular and profound first-person account of alien encounters in modern American culture.Ā
