Who Goes There
John W. Campbell
"Who Goes There?" The
novella that formed the basis of "The Thing" is the John W. Campbell
classic about an antarctic research camp that discovers and thaws the
ancient, frozen body of a crash-landed alien. The creature revives with
terrifying results, shape-shifting to assume the exact form of animal
and man, alike. Paranoia ensues as a band of frightened men work to
discern friend from foe, and destroy the menace before it challenges all
of humanity! The story, hailed as "one of the finest science fiction
novellas ever written" by the SF Writers of America, is best known to
fans as THE THING, as it was the basis of Howard Hawks' The Thing From
Another World in 1951, and John Carpenter's The Thing in 1982.
