The Things from Another World is a new official addition to the world of John W. Campbell's acclaimed sci-fi thriller Who Goes There?, which inspired both John Carpenter's The Thing and the upcoming Blumhouse reboot of the film. More than a mere sequel, The Things from Another World is a daring expansion and reimagination of the original story, set in a world in which Campbell's story was a fictional account of actual events, and then exploring the terrifying implications for humanity. In The Things from Another World, a second spaceship is discovered in Antarctica, confirming the events in 1938 that inspired Campbell's story. The US military decides to unearth the ship and learn its secrets, only to discover too late that the crash site is not deserted like they believed. The horrors that are unleashed pale in comparison with what will happen if the Things are able to escape Antarctica and spread unchecked across the world.

Written by the acclaimed author John Gregory Betancourt, The Things from Another World is the first in a new trilogy of novels that explore the backstory of the Things and the future of humanity within a galaxy-wide conflict dating back millions of years.
