Eight O'Clock in the Morning by Ray Faraday Nelson
5.0

This short story is awesome! It gripped my from the beginning and held tight until the end. The description of the antagonists was definitely different from the movie that the story inspired, but you can tell that this is definitely the starting point for They Live.

There is a comic book available as well published in the anthology comic Alien Encounters #6 called Nada. I was a bit disappointed in the design of the antagonists, having started with They Live. The story of the comic is practically the short story verbatim until the end, which I really enjoyed.

This is a classic example of a potentially perfect short story.
