That Which Stands Outside is a horror novel inspired by Nordic folklore. After Todd Kingston rescues Yrsa Helgerson from muggers one rainy London night, their resulting friendship quickly develops into a romance. When Yrsa's mother dies, Todd accompanies her back to her childhood home, an isolated Nordic island. The reception they receive there is one of suspicion and hostility. The islanders believe Yrsa to be a child of a mythic race called the Joetnar, a claim which Yrsa dismisses as superstitious nonsense. But as the island is rocked by a series of devastating events, Todd finds himself caught up in a terrifying battle, one which possibly threatens the future of the world itself.

Reviews / Votes
Expertly crafted horror novel. I had a fantastically good time with it. -- Olly Clarke, Criminolly Morris is an unforgiving author and gives horror fans what they want - whether they like it or not. -- Sam Tyler, SFBook Review One for those who enjoy slower, more atmospheric stories of weird imagery, Morris gives you a tale of dark forces and human emotion; in a world where so much is rushed and is compressed into instant serotonin, it's nice that That Which Stands Outside not only gets time to breathe but gets to fully wear you down with its chilling brand of halitosis. If you'd like an excuse for reckless spending, I present this novel. -- Ginger Nuts of Horror Ultimately, what you have with 'That Which Stands Outside' is a novel packed to the rafters with page after page of creeping, eerie horror that escalates to something more action-packed and intense than you would have ever envisaged. It's a tale rooted in a guardedly whispered folklore, which seeps into your pores with a constant feeling of uneasiness. With something that's not quite right. Something cold and hostile. Something ancient and evil. Damn this is a good read. -- DLS Reviews An absolutely face-smacking good time, this one had me hooked from page one and never let go. -- Steve Stred, 2x Splatterpunk-Nominated author of Mastodon, Father of Lies & Churn the Soil "A page-turner of a book. [...] Morris knows how to keep the reader engaged." -- ConcatenationMore details
