ABOUT THIS BOOK:
This is the incredible groundbreaking story of a brilliant psychoanalyst's struggle to unravel the strange kidnapping of Jason and Robert Steiner - two brothers who were hypnotically controlled and made to forget even the smallest detail of what had happened to them aboard an alien spaceship. This book, possibly the first to explore the idea of alien abduction, looks at the nature of the experiments performed upon the boys by unearthly creatures, such as a robot that resembled a young woman (even to the golden warmth of her flesh), and the use of drugs and hypnosis by the weird humanoids. This book raised a storm of excitement all over America, by challenging modern science to admit the existence of flying saucers.(Publisher).

About Underground Books, ABAA
Underground Books is an online rare and antiquarian bookshop as well as a brick and mortar general bookstore of the same name in downtown Carrollton, Georgia. Sister store Hills & Hamlets Bookshop is located in the nearby planned eco-community of Serenbe.
Co-owners Josh Niesse and Megan Bell met in 2011, just 10 days or so after Josh opened the doors of Underground Books, literally underground, several steps below street level in a 100-year-old basement in our historic downtown. Megan, an English student at the University of West Georgia, walked in, fell down the rabbit hole, and never left! Reader, we married in May of 2014, under the book arch that now resides at the bookshop. We are both proud alumni of the Colorado Antiquarian Book Seminar (CABS), and Megan additionally of Rare Book School at the University of Virginia and of the ABAA Women's Initiative Mentorship Program.
We have two open bookshops that carry new, used, bargain, rare, and antiquarian books, as well as our online office, impossible without our incredible team of booksellers, including two fellow CABS graduates, Miranda McMillan and Suzanne Carnes.
Like many booksellers with open brick-and-mortar stores, we are passionate generalists, but our specialties are in decorative publisher's cloth bindings; fairy tales, folklore, and mythology; popular science and natural history; the occult; and fine press books.
