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 bestseller for six months in 1987. The book was adapted into the 1989 Philippe Mora film Communion, starring Christopher Walken as Strieber and Lindsay Crouse as his wife Anne. A 2008 trade paperback edition presents a new preface by the author. Strieber calls the alleged beings "visitors", and compares a specific female individual he claims to have encountered, featured in the book's cover illustration, to the Sumerian deity Ishtar.
