In This episode I am reading from Brian Martin's book 'Between Worlds: A Life of Abduction, Addiction, and Awakening'

In "Between Worlds," Brian Martin delivers a raw, unflinching account of a life shaped by extraordinary encounters with beings from beyond our understanding. From his earliest childhood memories of "The Others" who took him aboard their ships, to confrontations with shadow people and cryptids that defied explanation, Martin weaves a tapestry of the paranormal against the backdrop of a troubled upbringing.

The narrative follows Martin from an Iowa childhood marked by abuse and alien abductions through the harsh realities of 1980s West Texas, where his family struggles to survive in a transient oil field community. As his life spirals into alcoholism and self-destruction, the paranormal encounters continue - bringing both terror and moments of transcendent connection.

With unflinching honesty, Martin chronicles his eventual path to sobriety and spiritual awakening, suggesting that his extraordinary experiences served a greater purpose in his journey toward healing. The memoir culminates in a synthesis of recovery wisdom and cosmic perspective as Martin confronts mortality, finding peace amid the incomprehensible.

Both deeply personal and universally resonant, this memoir challenges readers to expand their understanding of reality while offering hope that even the most haunted souls can find redemption. The author's polygraph results, included in the afterward, add another layer to this already compelling narrative.

Bio

Brian Martin, a Literary Titan Award Winner, was born on July 4th and raised in the Midwest before relocating to Texas at fifteen, where his distinctly American sensibility took root. An openly gay writer who came out during the era of the Red Hot and Blue AIDS benefit album, Martin Brings both sharp wit and lived experience to his craft. A veteran of multiple writers’ workshops, Martin has developed what he calls “New Gothic”—a unique horror genre where speculative fiction intersects with the macabre.

His writing draws from a lifetime of keen observation and unconventional experiences, including encounters that some might classify as otherworldly. Martin approaches his identity as an active force rather than a static label, preferring to think of himself as a verb in constant motion. His work reflects the complexity of contemporary American life through the lens of horror, offering readers both chills and insight into the human condition.

This week I'm talking to Lon Strickler about his book 'Alien Disclosure: Experiencers Expose Reality'.

The question isn't, have we been visited by extraterrestrial beings, but what is their agenda?

Human experiencers are providing us with actual accounts of alien abduction and close encounters with other worldly beings. Their stories are important, giving us a real sense of this global phenomenon and to the possible agenda behind these visitations.

This book will detail numerous encounters which will help answer questions such as: Is the human species part of a grand experiment? Who are the Men in Black? Is our species, with the assistance of extraterrestrials, headed towards a technological and biological singularity?

The experiences described in the accounts are brutally forthright and span decades. Some of the stories will shock you, some will offer greater clarity, and some will even frighten you. Either way, these experiences will present a vivid account and no doubt leave you questioning the origin of our species.
