Krátký román Ledové peklo (Frozen Hell) byl v roce 2018 objeven mezi písemnostmi Johna W. Campbella Jr., uloženými v knihovně Harvardské univerzity. Jde o dřívější, delší a za autorova života nevydanou verzi jeho slavné povídky „Kdo je tam?“, v níž vědci z antarktické výzkumné stanice objeví pod nedotčeným ledovým příkrovem obludnou mimozemskou bytost. V důsledku několika neuvážených kroků dopustí, aby se zdánlivě mrtvý a neškodný vetřelec probudil k životu. Následuje napínavé a tísnivé dobrodružství, boj lidí s tvorem ovládajícím stěží představitelné umění transformace. Příběh patří do zlatého fondu science fiction a je obecně známý především díky filmovému zpracování Johna Carpentera pod názvem Věc. Ledové peklo publikovanou povídku rozšiřuje o tři kapitoly, příběhu dodává plastičtější pozadí a kontext a je verzí, v níž chtěl Campbell svůj příběh původně předložit čtenářům. Z tohoto hlediska jde o pozoruhodný literární artefakt, který by neměl uniknout pozornosti žádného fanouška klasické science fiction.

Christianity is more than just a religion. It is a social organism that affects the lives of every person on earth in significant ways, even if they are not Christians themselves. In the United States its influence is pervasive with often profound influence on public policies, but it is largely unchallenged as a belief system, relegated to that quarantined area outside the zone of polite conversation. Despite much academic ink being allotted to the weaknesses of Christianity as a valid belief system, the general public remains unaware of these flaws. In Cross Examined, John Campbell applies his almost thirty years of experience as a trial lawyer to dissecting Christianity and the case of apologists for the Christian God. He addresses the best arguments for Christianity, those against it, and the reasons people should care about these questions. His purpose is to fill a void in books on atheism and Christianity by systematically taking Christian claims to task and making a full-throated argument for atheism from the perspective of a trial lawyer making a case.
