Who Goes There?

Who Goes There? is a 1938 science fiction horror novella by American author John W. Campbell, published under the pen name Don A. Stuart in the August 1938 issue of Astounding Science Fiction. It follows researchers at an Antarctic outpost menaced by a shapeshifting alien capable of absorbing and perfectly imitating any living being it encounters, including humans. The story was also printed under the title The Thing from Another World, and an extended early manuscript version, Frozen Hell, was published in 2019. It has been adapted directly to film as The Thing from Another World in 1951 and as John Carpenter's The Thing in 1982, and has influenced many later works.
