Whitley Strieber began his writing career with The Wolfen and The Hunger, for which he earned renown as one of the best of the “new wave” of horror writers.  Both of these novels were made into films, the latter starring Catherine Deneuve, Susan Sarandon and David Bowie.
     In the mid-eighties Strieber received national attention with the New York Times bestseller Warday (co-authored by James Kunetka), and an award winning young-adult novel, Wolf of Shadows, each depicting the harm our country could suffer in a “limited” nuclear war.
     He may be best known for the third phase of his career, which began with Communion, an autobiographical account of his experiences with strange alien “visitors” who came to his cabin in the New York countryside.
     He has written several other thrillers including the popular Cat Magic, and two novels about environmental collapse, Nature's End and The Coming Global Superstorm. The vampire saga that began with The Hunger was later expanded with The Last Vampire and Lilith's Dream.
     Recent novels from Whitley Strieber include The Grays, 2012: The War for Souls, and Critical Mass.
     A reissue of the limited edition short story collection, Evenings With Demons is expected soon.
     Whitley's latest book is The Omega Point (June 2010). In the novel, energy from a distant supernova enters our solar system, prompting the fabled End Times.
     “The book I am publishing in June,” Whitley says, “is about the veil between the worlds dropping at the end of time, when there is a winnowing and harvest of souls, with a certain group going on in the physical world, while most of us meet our final ends as physical beings, either ascending or descending, depending on how we have lived.”
