Review: Locke and Key, Vol. 2: Head Games

Locke and Key, Vol. 2: Head Games by Joe Hill

My rating: 5 of 5 stars



The Locke children, pretty much left to their own devices, are finding out more and more about the mysterious keys they had heard about. They are also doing some pretty questionable things. But, hey, they're kids. They'll bounce back. Right?

I completely loved this volume, which I felt ended way too soon (probably because I read it all in one sitting). It was impossible for me to put down.

I'm going to make this review short because I'm really anxious to start reading the next volume. Yeah, the series is that good.

Review: Locke and Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft

Locke and Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



It wasn't until I started following Joe Hill on Twitter that I found out he had written a graphic novel.

The illustrations, by Gabriel Rodriguez, are exceptional in their detail. The colors are vivid. The story is engrossing.

This is the first volume of the graphic novel, in which the Locke children are sent to their ancestral family estate in Lovecraft, Massachusetts after a terrifying tragedy. While the two older children brood and cry, the youngest has run of the place and finding out some very interesting things about this very interesting house.

I am loving every page, every panel, of this graphic novel. It's witty, clever, suspenseful, and completely enthralling.

Even if you're not into graphic novels, but love the horror and/or suspense genre, you give this series a try.
