A Fun Novelization of a Sci-Fi Horror Classic!
Alan Dean Foster's novelization of The Thing is a great little book. Foster's an old hand at novelizing sci-fi and horror, having also done Star Wars (actually ghostwritten as George Lucas), Alien, its sequel Aliens, Disney's The Black Hole and several others, as well as numerous original works. Here, he perfectly captures the isolation and paranoia of the antarctic research outpost that's been invaded by a shape-shifting alien, and I daresay he's on par with the original John W. Campbell novella, on which both Howard Hawks and John Carpenter based their respective versions of this classic sci-fi horror concept. If you can get it for a decent price, Alan Dean Foster's The Thing is a fun, scary read. :)
