The old ones are the best November 27, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
A collection of 7 short stories written in 1930's US of A. It's fascinating to read theories which are still being written about in SF today. The title "Who Goes There" was the story made into a screenplay and turned into the classic "Thing From Another World" in the early 1950's, although the film is very different from the book. Don't expect this story to be anything like the newer 1980's version, it's very different. Buy this book to read the origins of one of the best horror films ever made, and to read Campbell's brilliant visions of the future.

If you like scary stories then this is one for you. This book is a collection of 7 re-printed stories written by James W Cambell in the times when he was writing for 'Amazing Stories'. The first one 'Who Goes There' was used by Howard Hawks for the original 'The Thing', but the new John Carpenter version follows this in greater depth and is definately one for sci-fi collectors. One point though, don't read it alone!.
