    About this audiobook

    Fans of John Carpenter's "The Thing" can rejoice -- here is the original, previously-unpublished, 45-pages-longer version of John W. Campbell's classic story, "Who Goes There?" (filmed as The Thing and The Thing from Another World). Recently discovered at Harvard by scholar Alec Nevala-Lee, long buried in John W. Campbell's papers, here is the original version of "Who Goes There?" It adds an astonishing 45 pages of extra material to the classic story.

    Included is a Preface by Alec Nevala-Lee, and Introduction by science fiction grandmaster Robert Silverberg, and the complete text of this newly discovered version of the classic novel.
