Review:

"Foster’s treatment of the source material has only enhanced my appreciation for this classic story." - Blogcritics

"The book was well written, it filled in a few gaps in the film that I didn’t know needed to be filled until I read them, and it put the film in a different context, which may color my next viewing.  If you consider yourself a fan of the film, it’s worth checking out." - Top Hat Sasquatch 

"A hell of a fun and terrifying read. It’s one I recommend to anyone who loves the film or a good old fashioned sci-fi romp through the hell in our stars." - Ravenous Monster 

“In text form the primal dread conjured by its events and themes is as timeless as the cold and empty darkness from which it spreads. 9/10.” - Starburst

“The official novelization is a stroll-back to memory lane of sweat inducing horrors.” – Retrenders
