Bad Things Happen Here is the story of a haunting that injects terror and madness into a handful of old friends, and although the evil is wholly supernatural, Morris deftly layers the psychological attacks with very real-world demons, such as grief, the weight of success, mental health, familial upheaval, and the deep scars of past trauma we carry with us all of our lives.

Deliciously dark and creepy. Morris will have you seeing shadows from the corner of your eye…
– Alison Littlewood, Shirley Jackson Award-winning author
Stellar, creepy horror in the past-comes-back-to-haunt-you vein, Mark Morris’s excellent BAD THINGS HAPPEN HERE gives us a sprawling ensemble, brilliantly drawn, all plagued by an evil they thought they’d left behind. Morris is in top form here. You’ll be genuinely afraid for these characters, and you should be!
– Christopher Golden, New York Times bestselling author of CARRY ME TO MY GRAVE and ROAD OF BONES
Old friends, old enmities, and sins that won’t be forgotten. Mark Morris is one of the finest masters of dread. Bad Things Happen Here will have you sleeping with the lights on.
– Angela “A.G.” Slatter, award-winning author of 'A Forest, Darkly'
Mark Morris is one of those writers who deserves to be a household name… This is one of the most atmospheric books I've read in a long while… I recommend it to anyone who like character based, creepy as hell horror.
– Marc Lyth
Morris is an unforgiving author and gives horror fans what they want - whether they like it or not.
– Sam Tyler, SFBook Review
Expertly crafted horror novel. I had a fantastically good time with it.
– Olly Clarke, Criminolly, on 'That Which Stands Outside'
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.

"A page-turner of a book. [...] Morris knows how to keep the reader engaged."
