Enjoy it and you can also spread it to more people. The characters sort of melted together for me at the beginning, but really held their own in the last couple of chapters, and I understand why the first 3 chapters were cut. Really wanted to like this book, but ended up being very disappointed. The author obviously had such an awesome imagination. The storyline and monster are so original and unique, but I found the style of the writing very hard to read.
I felt lost with the way the author would describe things and constantly found myself bored with the lack of tension and drama in the way that it was written, although that may just be because this is an extended edition of the original novella.
In my opinion, John C Really wanted to like this book, but ended up being very disappointed. Skip reading this and give it a rewatch. Now available, this version of the story adds opening chapters that expands on the discovery of the monster frozen in the ice while keeping most of the later version narrative intact. The both tell a terrific story, just differently.
It's a masterpiece of horror cinema adapted from "Who Goes There? Campbell, Jr. If you're geek flag is a little higher, you'll also know the film descended from a less faithful adaptation The Thing from Another World which haunted the drive-ins in before my dad was even born!
MacCready Funko Pop true story. If you don't know any of the aforementioned, then you do now you're welcome and will probably still enjoy "Frozen Hell," perhaps even more?
For you: this book is a delightful Pandora's box. For the rest of us: skip right to that scene in the Carpenter film where everyone stands around the creature on the table. There's the difference between "Who Goes There? Where "Frozen Hell" really shines is in providing a more natural and complete tale, and adding a story behind the story by Silverberg. Where it falls flat is McReady's odd "spoiler dream," pointless "telepathy," and a preview of an awful "sequel that should not be" by John Betancourt.
Four stars for giving us more, but minus one star for giving a little too much more. This edition includes an introduction which talks about the discovery of Frozen hell and why it was shortened to then be published as Who Goes There?
The experience of reading Frozen Hell was interesting. The story is written as a sci-fi and that comes through quite quickly through the language and imagery. The horror elements in this edition are helped along with the illustrations. Both novellas are a unique look into the story but the movie will always be my favourite. Apr 06, Jim Davis added it. When I learned that this was available and the story behind it I wanted to read it and compare the two versions. The first 3 long chapters of "Frozen Hell" were condensed using a flashback format in the first 2 chapters of ""Who Goes There?
From that point the story is pretty much the same as I can tell without comparing them line by line. Campbell himself seems to have thought the edited version worked better than the longer o "Who Goes There? Campbell himself seems to have thought the edited version worked better than the longer original and I agree.
The first 3 chapters of "Frozen Hell" spent too much time describing the Antarctic environment. I also felt that the descriptions of horror many of the men described were too repetitive and seemed to belong in a more pulpy horror story. Campbell's editing of "Frozen Hell" resulted in a better written beginning to the story and increased the intensity of the story overall. This was a good short story. I have never read the original as this rendition has more pages. I liked the concept and the story.
I just had a hard time getting through the bits where instead of just coming out and saying something that has happened there is a literal science explanation.
If you have read the story then my example may make sense. If something explodes IMOP it doesn't need this long drawn out two or three paragraphs saying everything but this thing exploded. Otherwise I liked it. Jul 25, Adina rated it did not like it. I didn't expect this so be so boringly wordy and completely lacking in suspense. As a huge fan of John Carpenter's The Thing film, I was immensely curious to read this story when I saw it was being republished in this form.
Overall, it was a fine experience, mostly because of nostalgia and my love for the subject matter. The story itself was okay, it was interesting to see what Carpenter carried over to his film version besides the overall premise of a shapeshifting monster at an Antarctic base. There were some familiar character names, some familiar scenes and a few lines t As a huge fan of John Carpenter's The Thing film, I was immensely curious to read this story when I saw it was being republished in this form.
There were some familiar character names, some familiar scenes and a few lines that made their way to the movie. But beyond that, I wasn't thrilled by Campbell's writing style all that much. I know this was written in the s so that tempers my opinion a bit. It definitely seemed to have a style that was antiquated. Also the terminology here and there was archaic; for instance, he used the terms "dynamo" and "magneto" instead of "generator" when referring to power-generating sources.
But that's what those things were called back then! These things struck me as quaint, however, rather than being a detriment to the story. The dialogue was somewhat stilted, and sometimes the description was confusing. But I get it, this was written in a much different time, for a different type of reader. The parts of the story that were restored for this version were alright, seemed like a lot of description of the Antarctic, which might have been fascinating for readers at the time.
Ultimately, I enjoyed the latter part of the story when the characters started to descend into paranoia and the action picked up, of course. One final thing: this version has a very incorrect table of contents I'm an editor by trade, so these things concern me! Also, there were some inconsistent formatting issues that detracted from the experience for me, but YMMV. For anyone who is a fan of The Thing film, this might be an interesting diversion and a look into how Carpenter was inspired.

Hello again to my readers. I thought it was time for a slight change from my usual focus. Perhaps something colder…and more horrific? To fans of Golden Age science fiction and horror, John W.
Campbell Jr is a titan. He is famous in science fiction circles for being the most prolific editor of the most famous The following review was originally published in the online newspaper The Orkney News in February Heinlein and A.
E Van Voght. Frozen Hell is something of an unexpected discovery. If the name Who Goes There? How odd. I thought I could hear Sgathiach screaming for a minute there. The manuscript was found in the libraries of Harvard University and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign was created to produce a book of this version. The campaign proved to be very successful as a matter of fact I was a backer and an audiobook version was produced alongside a physical paperback and digital e-book versions.
The plot is understandably very familiar: A group of scientists in the Antarctic — including a McReady, some things never change — have discovered quite the oddity in amongst their studies and giant storms: an abomination. An alien thing. And one that has its own intentions. How will these men deal with an monstrosity that can imitate anyone or anything?
And who among them truly is human in this frozen hell? Frozen Hell is a very interesting read and listen. Not only is it interesting for historical reasons but it is also quite entertaining. I have to also bring special mention to the brilliant way Campbell shows the slow breakdown. At first things seem normal. Definitely very isolated but normal, then of course the thing is discovered and the cracks begin to show.
First just one man.. And if so…how and why? I will have to say that despite my praise of and fondness for Frozen Hell I do feel that the version originally published in as Who Goes There? It is more tightly written with more of a direct focus on the horror of the situation. There are also a few less extraneous details here and there. Frozen Hell is by no means bad.
It is great in fact. But in comparison Who Goes There? Lowenthal is a voice over artist known mainly for his performances in the animation industry be it American cartoon shows or Japanese anime.
He does a good job of matching the tone of the piece and does fantastically well in those scenes where characters begin to turn on each other or wonder if they are going mad. He also manages rather well to give each important character their own distinct voice so it is much easier to tell who is who during the large group scenes.
In fact his narration made the audiobook surprisingly easy listening to the point I almost listened to the entire thing in one go which is quite rare for me. One small minor problem I must note for my readers is simply the general lack of availability for this audiobook. I received a physical and audio copy originally as a Kickstarter backer and held off on my review to make sure the book had a chance to become more widely available to the general public.
I do highly recommend the book especially to fans of Campbell and others like him or those who have an interest in the general history of science fiction and horror. However I do feel its general lack of availability can be a nuisance. In conclusion if this sounds like your kind of thing? Hunt a copy down! It will be more than worth it. Even if you are merely interested give this audiobook a chance it deserves it.
Now…perhaps I should return to The Folly? Check on the Rivers? I had high hopes for this book but it fell so short.
