Communion: A True Story (1987) is a book by American ufologist and horror author Whitley Strieber. It is based on the purported experiences of Strieber, who underwent a feeling of "lost time" and terrifying flashbacks. Budd Hopkins later hypnotized the author and suggested his account pointed to an alleged encounter with aliens. Communion was a nonfiction best seller for six months in 1987. The book was adapted as the 1989 film Communion, directed by Philippe Mora and starring Christopher Walken as Strieber and Lindsay Crouse as his wife Anne.
