Now a Netflix original series! Named a ""modern masterpiece"" byThe A.V. Club,Locke & Keytells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil. Acclaimed suspense novelist andNew York Timesbest-selling authorJoe Hill(The Fireman,Heart-Shaped Box) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder-with astounding artwork fromGabriel Rodriguez-that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. The epic begins here-Welcome to Lovecraft.

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.

A modern masterpiece... -- AV Club It's great! ...The art here by Gabriel Rodriguez is some of the finest stuff in comics today... The team of Hill and Rodriguez is top notch! -- Blair Butler, Fresh Ink Solid pacing and plot twists, combined with Rodriguez's clean lines and detailed pencils make Locke & Key a lock for best horror book of the week. -- Wizard Magazine In a year of auspicious comics debuts, Joe Hill turned in one of the few comics that truly came from a different place. Written with skill that makes me jealous, courage that makes me smile, and honesty and brutality that makes me want to see what comes next. Okay, I'm officially a fan. -- Ed Brubaker A modern suspense thriller meets something more wondrous and magical. -- IGN
