In
1938, acclaimed science fiction author John W. Campbell published the novella
Who Goes There?, about a team of scientists in Antarctica who discover and are
terrorized by a monstrous, shape-shifting alien entity. The story would later
be adapted into John Carpenter's iconic movie The Thing (following an earlier
film adaptation in 1951). The published novella was actually an abridged
version of Campbell's original story, called Frozen Hell, which had to be
shortened for publication.
The
Frozen Hell manuscript remained unknown and unpublished for decades, and it was
only recently rediscovered. Frozen Hell expands The Thing story dramatically,
giving vital backstory and context to an already incredible tale. We are
pleased and honored to offer Frozen Hell to you now, as Campbell intended it.
You will be among the first people to ever read this completed version of the
story.
