Who Goes There?

I loved "Who Goes There?" I had never known it was the basis for "The Thing." The novella now looks like it was condensed from an earlier novel by Campbell.

I can see how it might work better as horror with a sci-fi premise than as pure sci-fi. Scared the hell outa me, it did.

As I said, "Who goes there?"

My father read that book long before I was born and always recommended it to me. He got me hooked on science fiction at an early age. "The Thing" with Kurt Russell was good, I thought.
