ISO Ray Nelson's short story "8'O Clock in the Morning"

[Michael J. Stango]

I'm looking for this short story-- I know the author's last name is
Nelson, and reasonably sure about his first name being Ray.

This story is what the movie "They Live" is based on.

I noticed that Stephen King's story "The Ten O'Clock People" which appears
in his _Nightmares and Dreamscapes_ collection bears a striking
resemblance to the movie, and I'd like to get a hold of Nelson's story to
see exactly how similar the two are.

I searched Alta Vista and Amazon.com looking for this story, but I don't
know if it was ever published in any kind of anthology. If you have a copy
or know of a collection in which it was published, please e-mail me.

TIA,

~Philly
