Since the publication of Communion, Strieber has become one of the world's leading investigator and chronicler of paranormal activity through his Unknown Country website (https:\/\/www.unknowncountry.com\/) and his long-running Dreamland podcast.  ","author_name":"The podcast of the Sacred Inclusion Network","author_url":"https:\/\/sacredinclusion.com","html":"
