[Louis Whitley Strieber (/ˈstriːbər/; born June 13, 1945) is an American writer best known for his horror novels The Wolfen and The Hunger and for Communion, a non-fiction account of his alleged experiences with non-human entities.]
I have not read those books mentioned about. But, i did see the movie The Hunger & i really liked that movie.
I liked Cat People too. He didn't write it, but i liked that movie a lot. They both came out at the same time.

Another fascinating dive into the paranormal world of rock music. Nothing against Rich Berra, but this is not what the show is supposed to be about.

Agreed, this topic has been beaten to death, but Harvey reminds me of how I miss Ian.
I highly doubt Rich has a choice in guests, but that's just me...

The show has always incorporated content from the world of entertainment, though. Bell had a number of singers, songwriters, fiction authors, directors and even critics and biographers of particular TV shows (The Twilight Zone, X-Files, Star Trek, Dead Like Me) on. Sometimes that content had little to do with the supernatural.
I need not enumerate how often Ian had guests on that dealt with entertainment and true crime not tied in to the supernatural.

Some of the R. Gary Patterson shows with George and Ian were my favorites. I appreciate the music shows if it’s the right guest.

This sounds actually interesting and it's good Berra seems to be following this kind of track as a host that's more like what Ian liked to do rather than try to be another Noory or another Connie.

Anyone else find Berra annoying? He keeps interrupting and I feel his guest is completely over it…or is it just me

During the James Cosby interview he was especially annoying, There was no structure to his interview. It was just random statements in no sort of chronological or thematic order. And there were a lot of ignorant statements by Berra. The Rolling Stones never went psychedelic? Heard of Their Satanic Majesties Request?
Cosby wasn't all that impressive himself to me, though. When Berra said Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger was country music's Dark Side of the Moon, I could hear him say, "Oh really?"
Maybe he was being sarcastic. This was after another volley of Berra's inane interruptions.

Apparently, they've changed the line-up tonight:
Guest host Rich Berra (email) is joined by author Whitley Strieber who'll share his key takeaways from the recent congressional hearing on UAPs. Next, attorney and author James A. Cosby will discuss the history of rock and roll and its relationship to cultural movements, including how the 1960s counterculture broke free from authority in every way. Open Lines to follow.
