Who Goes There? by John W Campbell Jr

from Being Bookish

Could I have picked something a little less obscure this week? Possibly. However, if you're a fan of John Carpenter films, then the story behind this book will definitely be familiar, for Who Goes There? written in 1938 went on to become the 1982 Kurt Russell film, The Thing! As part of a special crossover event, I am joined by Lorraine from Once Upon a Nightmare to talk about the book that inspired the film. As always, there will be no spoilers here! Give this episode a listen to discover if we were surprised by this 70-page science fiction novella. Does it truly stand the test of time?
