“Locke & Key tells of Keyhouse, an unlikely New England mansion, with fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them. Home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all…”
Two of my favorite genres in one series, horror and graphic novel. Joe Hill, son of Stephen King, is the author of the Locke & Key series that takes you on a journey with Bode, Kinsey, and Tyler as they move in with their mother to Keyhouse and begin discovering its secrets. Throughout the series, 6 keys are found that give “powers” to the holder of the key. For example, the head key (pictured in the second image above) can “unlock” a person’s head. Memories can be taken away, emotions can be pulled out, and items can be added.
The other keys in Keyhouse are just as exciting to learn about, as well as the story that unfolds throughout the 6 issues. I flew through this series and think about picking it up again. If you are interested in horror, give this series a try!
