There are only two more volumes after this one, so it’s apparently time for Locke & Key to get ready for the endgame. For as fun as the last couple issues have been (and by “fun” I mean horrifying and interesting and really hard to put down), once everything was introduced in Vol. 1, everything was actually pretty status quo, relatively speaking. New keys, Dodge trying to manipulate the Lockes while hiding in plain sight, bad things happening all over the place . . . but in Keys […]
Seriously imaginative fantasy/horror.
This series is so imaginative. And the further in you get, the more stuff it throws at you. I’m actually finding it really difficult to write about it because the more detailed it gets, the weirder it gets, and the more impossible it becomes to talk about. Tyler, Kinsey and Bode have somewhat adjusted to living in Keyhouse, and to using the keys, but their mother is only falling apart harder and faster. The still mysterious Dodge is seeking the Omega Key, the key that will […]
I wonder what the inside of *my* head would look like . . .
I am really digging this series, ya’ll. The artwork is still hit or miss for me when it comes to the characters, but the story more than makes up for it. So in Vol. 1 we were introduced to the Locke family, who have just lost their patriarch due to a violent murder, and have moved to their family home, a house that is so stately it actually has a name: Keyhouse. We were also introduced to the idea that something is off at Keyhouse, […]

Guess who’s coming to dinner…..
*Spoilers below* I have a complex relationship with H.P. Lovecraft. I love the quietly brooding and tremulous fear that pervades the Lovecraftian world, which allows me to tolerate his dense and often impenetrable language. Like much of his work, there is a simmering horror in the background of this story. It’s barely glimpsed in the beginning, and swells throughout. Like the best of his works, there’s something unsettling that slowly envelops the reader in its darkness. Lovecraft doesn’t knock you over the head with terror, […]
Love and Monsters in a New Age
Wow, what a book to start the year. The novel starts sort of mysteriously and I don’t want to spoil the mystery (though it’s been out a while now so you may know the mystery anyway–I think I knew before I bought the book, but I didn’t read it right away so I had forgotten by the time I picked it up again). I will say it’s a post-apocalyptic novel–you get that within the first three pages, so that’s not a spoiler. Also there are monsters and […]
