@JamesGleick Peter Watts's short story "The Things" provides the Thing's perspective. ("Who Goes There?", The Thing from Another World, The Thing, etc.) I recommend it to anyone very interested in the Thing, but only AFTER reading everything else, because it WILL change your view about it.
@JamesGleick Faulkner did this within a single novel, The Sound and the Fury, in four parts voicing three different character points of view (of different but overlapping events) and only ending with an omniscient narrator story.
