Overview
Overview
Following their father's gruesome murder in a violent home invasion, the Locke children return to his childhood home of Keyhouse in secluded Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Their mother, Nina, is too trapped in her grief--and a wine bottle--to notice that all in Keyhouse is not what it seems: too many locked doors, too many unanswered questions. Older kids Tyler and Kinsey aren't much better. But not youngest son Bode, who quickly finds a new friend living in an empty well and a new toy, a key, that offers hours of spirited entertainment. But again, all at Keyhouse is not what it seems, and not all doors are meant to be opened. Soon, horrors old and new, real and imagined, will come ravening after the Lockes and the secrets their family holds. Named a "modern masterpiece" by The A.V. Club, Locke & Key tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil. Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder--with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez--that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. The epic begins here: Welcome to Lovecraft. Locke & Key, Vol. 1 features an introduction by Robert Crais.

A mysterious house filled with keys to fantastic adventures!
Blake W. - 5 years 1 month agoThis book tells of a family who loses their father to a killer who is pushed into murder by an unseen force. After the death of their father, the family mom and three kids move back to their father's childhood home Lovecraft Manor in New England. The oldest son is lost following his fathers death, the middle daughter is drowning in a fit of rage and the youngest boy is not quite old enough to comprehend what is happening while their mother starts drinking herself into oblivion. Then the youngest boy finds the first key and opens a door to the greatest adventure of the trios lifetime! I loved this series it is a great combination of fantasy and sci-fi with lots of twists and turns and it kept me on the edge of my seat through all six books. This is a great starting point to grand adventure!
