"Who Goes There?" is the novella that formed the basis of John Carpenter's classic film The Thing. Campbell's classic story tells of an Antarctic research base that discovers and thaws the ancient, frozen body of a crash-landed alien with terrifying results!

This Wildside Press edition is the only ebook version of this classic story authorized by the Campbell estate.

Maybe my love for the Carpenter film gets in the way but this meandered for a while and the narration was one of the worst.

Bias towards the film

absolutely a great story, was expecting it to be longer but nonetheless still very intruiging. would recommend to most!

Brilliant listen

The short story itself is well worth a read, especially for fans of Carpenter's 'The Thing'. However, the narration is some of the worst I've heard on Audible. The narrator is flat, adds very little emotion and makes next to no distinction when changing character voice. It makes the story quite difficult to follow, and I ended up listening along to a text version so that I could keep track. It really felt like this wasn't a big 'job' for the narrator, and he was just phoning it in.
Such a shame.

Cracking story - flat narration!

The story ends very abruptly just as it's getting interesting.

Lots of drawn-out sciency explanations and monologues about biology that add nothing to the story.

The creature is very hard to understand. It starts out as a single entity and then all of a sudden it outnumbers the humans with no clear explanation besides the in-depth, convoluted scientific monologues.

Narration is very good.

Too short.

There’s little that can be said about this novella that either hasn’t been said already, or that would spoil the story for newcomers by describing the plot. Much like the movies this story inspired (especially the John Carpenter movie, The Thing) it flew under the radar for quite some time, only to become the cult classic we know it as today.
It has a few minor flaws, from a writing perspective, mixed in with the dazzling originality and it could have been polished into an outright classic, acknowledged in its day. But for all that, its fascination has gripped the imagination of fans, film makers, musicians and fan fiction writers (some of them actually pretty good) throughout the years since.
The narration, while fluent, is flat when it comes to the characters, who all come off sounding the same in the hands of this narrator, who isn’t bothering with tone, accents or characterisation. That’s a shame, since a science fiction thriller, of this type, relies on the tension and dense atmosphere of claustrophobia, juxtaposed against the dizzying, agoraphobia of the potential threat from other characters and the vertiginous, howling endless exterior of its Southern Polar setting.
It is still well worth a listen though. Especially if you’re a sci-fi fan and don’t know this story; those listeners are in for a treat.
