Briddie420 on May 29, 2024 4:51 pm *The Thing* was based on a 1938 novella by John W. Campbell named *Who Goes There?*, so that would be a good place to start!
jseger9000 on May 29, 2024 4:57 pm Yeah, John W. Campbell’s Who Goes There. It was published recently in an expanded version called Frozen Hell. Also, Alan Dean Foster did a novelization of The Thing that is highly regarded (and expensive to buy). For similar books, try Jack Finney’s The Body Snatchers/Invasion of the Body Snatchers. Also Robert Heinlein has The Puppet Masters.
