About
If you enjoy stories that make you wonder, “WTF", then The Abduction Chronicles by Thomas L. Hay might be your next favorite read.
Recently on Amazon’s #1 Best Seller list, this book has a unique style that blends bits of the author’s real life with his vivid imagination—so smoothly that readers can’t tell where fact ends and fiction begins. And that’s the fun of it.
The author originally wrote his memoir "The Comeback Kid". Afterwards, he started thinking about something his ex-wife had always insisted: that they had been abducted by aliens during their brief marriage. Although he never believed her, the accusation stuck with him. “What if she were right?” From that simple thought process, "The Abduction Chronicles" story was born.
His tale is written as a novel told in the style of a memoir, designed to feel personal and believable while still being a firmly fictional sci-fi adventure. The story follows the author as he experiences bizarre encounters, strange happenings, missing memories, and unsettling life events. It is written as if he’s recounting his life events. It has the same emotional beats as a true memoir—but in fact the events themselves are a blend of fact and fiction.
The author takes moments inspired loosely by his real past and then blends in creative storytelling to build a narrative where: mysterious encounters feel almost possible • his memories may or may not be trustworthy • and the truth is uncertain. You will be challenged to figure out which parts of the story are based on his real-life events, and which are invented. That is the charm and uniqueness of this story.
AWARDED THE PIPS BOOK QUALITY AWARD.
