Part 4 of the 1930s Science Fiction series…

Read it from Astounding August 1938 p. 60: https://archive.org/details/as_1938_08/page/n3/mode/2up

In August of 1938 Astounding magazine ran a short story by the magazine’s own editor John W. Campbell under the pen-name Don A. Stuart. While the story was purchased by the magazine’s former editor this story Who Goes There would go on to become one of the all-time classics of Science Fiction and horror. It has inspired three movies already including the direct adaptation in 1982 by director John Carpenter into the cult classic The Thing.

Joining me for this episode is a powerhouse panel of guests Brian Keene author of The Rising and the Lost Level books, Mary Sangiovanni The queen of Cosmic Horror and author of the upcoming ALIEN: Enemy of my Enemy tie-in novel , and Tim Lebbon author of The Silence and one of my top reads of the year The Last Storm.

In this episode, we talk about how John W. Campbell’s childhood informed Who Goes There, the history of the publication, what else was in the issue of Astounding, the construction of the story and of course how it compares to the 1982 classic film.
