About The Book
"It is true that I have sent six bullets through the head of my best friend, and yet I hope to shew by this statement that I am not his murderer."
The year is 1933, and Edward Derby's best friend, Daniel Upton, visits him in Arkham Sanitorium and shoots him dead to the horror of the guards. It's an open and shut case - or is it? What happened to this lifelong friendship for it to end this way? Who exactly was Edward Derby at the end of his life? And, most importantly, will his murder be enough to stop him?
From award-winning writer Simon Birks (Antarctica, Sinners, Gone, The Shadow Over Innsmouth) with artist Willi Roberts (Antarctica, The Dark, Clodagh, The Blood Below, Remothered) featuring letters by Rob Jones (Image, Humanoids, Heavy Metal, and many more) comes a startling tale based on H.P. Lovecraft's terrifying story.

Raves and Reviews
"Beautifully crafted, delightfully menacing, and peppered with moments of sheer horror, The Thing on the Doorstep is a wonderful Lovecraftian tale which sinks it’s teeth in early and doesn’t let go."
– Super Serious Comics
"A slow sense of horror creeps in throughout the comic with little moments of terrifying imagery keeping us readers on our toes and delightfully ill-at-ease."
– The Newest Rant
"It has Netflix written all over it and it’s great to see such strong Scottish talent working at a level comparable with Tynion or Bunn."
