The artwork perfectly complements the creeptastic storyline in this. What seems to be a story about a family dealing with a terrible tragedy, slowly unfolds into something more. The dialogue was amazing, and the characters felt quite real, especially for a graphic novel. This is the first thing I've read by Joe Hill, and I have to say that I'm very impressed. Not sure what I was thinking? This was fantastic! All 5 stars! Thank you Dᴀɴ 2.☢’s for letting me read your copy of this one!įor some odd reason, I only gave this 4 stars the first time around. It's just one of the better-written stories, horror or otherwise, out there. Locke & Key easily makes my Top 10 favorite graphic novel series. Then add a layer of mystery to the house itself, with its strange and magical keys that keep popping up, and you've got something amazing to read.īecause there's a secret history to everything their father had long ago forgotten about the house, and the youngest child, Bode, is starting to discover it all over again.

Layer by layer the story of why their father was killed, what happened to them during the time the killers were in their house, and how the family is coping, starts coming together to paint a heart-wrenching tale. The gist is that the violent murder of their father by two teens sends the three children and their mother to their dad's ancestral home. I was gifted the beautiful hardback set of these a while back and just finished re-reading the first book.again. This is still one of my all-time favorite graphic novels and if you haven't read it yet, I honestly can't recommend it enough. I'm re-reading the books because we just watched the Netflix show and it made me think about how much I loved this story. I suggest you let them know what you think of the change by contacting them via the Contact Us page. So good luck trying to find comics on Goodreads in the future.

Thanks to some idiotic editing going on behind the scenes, the names of graphic novels are being changed to their subtitle only, removing the actual comic title and volume number from the name.
