Someone close to me is dipping their feet in to reading more and has requested some books (fiction) regarding alien, alien abduction, and the like.

Unfortunately outside my area of expertise. I had a few titles in mind to gift them but I don't really know. What's the general lit consensus on: Arthur Clarke's "Childhood's End" vs Douglas Adam's "Hitchhiker's etc" for the book they'll be given? Like I said they're a bit of a novice, so denser things probably won't be a good introduction to reading and should probably stick to more pedestrian literature.

They were also looking for murder-mysteries. I was going to include a Poe collection with Murders of Rue Morgue.

Thoughts?

Communion by Whitley Strieber. Written as non-fiction, but considering the guy's gone off the deep end, it's probably almost totally fiction or was in his head. Still one scary book.

Also, if he's actually interested in the alien abduction phenomenon, tell him to check out Budd Hopkins' Missing Time and David Jacobs' Secret Life: First-Hand Accounts of UFO Abductions.

My occult friends are fucking convinced this guy is legit. Or legit in the sense that he's communicating with SOMETHING, something is legit, but he may not fully understand it or may be misrepresenting it.

Scary as fuck if you're /x/-inclined.

The Real Cool Killers for a murder mystery. I've read a lot of murder-mysteries and this is my favourite
