    I purchased at a decent price and the seller sent as described in good condition, and in a reasonably timely manner, packed acceptably, for a tolerable shipping cost. The quality of the item looks decent. And it has a clean and maintained appearance. I don’t recall significant communication from the seller. However, I would still buy from again. Thank you.

    The book arrived safe and sound with no damage. I appreciated it being packaged between two sturdy pieces of cardboard inside the bubble mailer to keep it from bending. And being sent in a plastic sleeve. It looks exactly as described and as shown in the pictures. Thank you!

  • A Fun Novelization of a Sci-Fi Horror Classic!

    Alan Dean Foster's novelization of The Thing is a great little book. Foster's an old hand at novelizing sci-fi and horror, having also done Star Wars (actually ghostwritten as George Lucas), Alien, its sequel Aliens, Disney's The Black Hole and several others, as well as numerous original works. Here, he perfectly captures the isolation and paranoia of the antarctic research outpost that's been invaded by a shape-shifting alien, and I daresay he's on par with the original John W. Campbell novella, on which both Howard Hawks and John Carpenter based their respective versions of this classic sci-fi horror concept. If you can get it for a decent price, Alan Dean Foster's The Thing is a fun, scary read. :)

  • Excellent book

    I dont really read alot of books like this, but when I found out about this adaption, I couldn't resist. Its fear, real palpable fear. Proof that man is the warmest place to hide.
