Who Goes There? Novella Formed from Original Short Story: A Review
This review is about the novella version of John W. Campbell’s classic science fiction work, Who Goes There?. As a fan of the original short story, I was excited to read this new, expanded version. Who Goes There? tells the tale of an Antarctic research station that discovers an alien life form with the potential to overtake humanity. The tension and suspense build as the team works together to try and maintain order and protect their lives.
The novella expands on the original story, providing more detail on the characters, their relationships, and the events that unfold over time. I was surprised by how much depth and emotion was added to the story in this longer format. The characters feel real and alive, making it easy to become invested in their struggle to survive against an unknown enemy. The atmosphere of dread and paranoia is palpable throughout, creating an intense and thrilling experience for readers.
