Customer Reviews
A very faithful prequel
This was much better than I expected. Faithful to both the original novella and the John Carpenter. Some of the dialogue seems very Scooby Doo (“Jeepers?”) - but i really admired the detail of the creature and its assimilation methods, very reminiscent of the movie. Very highly recommended for fans of the movie and ‘Who Goes There?’
The true prequel
This prequel story to John Carpenter's The Thing is much better than the 2011 movie. It has interesting characters, the continuity between it and the 1982 movie has little to no mistakes, and it does something new and isn't a retread of the 1982 movie. It also adds elements from "Who goes there?" (The original story The Thing is based on). I could not stop reading it as it always kept me on edge and wondering what was going to happen next. I consider this to be the true prequel to John Carpenter's The Thing and I highly recommend this for any fans who have seen all 3 movie versions of The Thing or any sci fi fan.
Creepy
The story was creepy and scary. It explained exactly what the The Thing was. This was a non-stop Read full of all kinds of surprises right up to the thrilling end.
