Representaion Toward Books Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft (Locke & Key #1)
2020 I'm re-reading the books because we just watched the Netflix show and it made me think about how much I loved this story. This is still one of my all-time favorite graphic novels and if you haven't read it yet, I honestly can't recommend it enough.
2018
I was gifted the beautiful hardback set of these a while back and just finished re-reading the first book...again. Can't believe how much I'd forgotten!
The gist is that the violent murder of their father by two teens sends the three children and their mother to their dad's ancestral home.
Keyhouse.
Layer by layer the story of why their father was killed, what happened to them during the time the killers were in their house, and how the family is coping, starts coming together to paint a heart-wrenching tale. Then add a layer of mystery to the house itself, with its strange and magical keys that keep popping up, and you've got something amazing to read.
Because there's a secret history to everything their father had long ago forgotten about the house, and the youngest child, Bode, is starting to discover it all over again.
And fuck! It's creepy as hell!
Locke & Key easily makes my Top 10 favorite graphic novel series. It's just one of the better-written stories, horror or otherwise, out there.
Highly recommended!

Thank you Dᴀɴ 2.☢’s for letting me read your copy of this one!
For some odd reason, I only gave this 4 stars the first time around. Not sure what I was thinking? This was fantastic! All 5 stars!
Have you read this series yet?
If not, DO IT!
Original review 2012
This is the first thing I've read by Joe Hill, and I have to say that I'm very impressed. The dialogue was amazing, and the characters felt quite real, especially for a graphic novel.
What seems to be a story about a family dealing with a terrible tragedy, slowly unfolds into something more.
Brrrrr.
The artwork perfectly complements the creeptastic storyline in this. What else can I say? The entire thing was very well done, and I've heard from several sources that it only gets better from here on out. (hide spoiler)]Mention About Books Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft (Locke & Key #1)

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/Im giving this 4 Stars because its the first in the series and I need some rating wiggle room Fuck that, this gets all the stars.Locke & Key is proof that there is indeed a graphic novel out there for everyone. Being from a small town without a lot of a lot of exposure to the world of comic books and being a *gasp* GIRL on top of that . . . I never bothered with the genre until I birthed a tiny little nerd and then I startedFuck! ... That was an admiring Fuck not a Fuck you Fuck.

Was it weird to grow up in a house with a name? You have no idea. Ive heard a lot of good things about this comic book series, but......oh, boy! I never thought that it was THAT GOOD!!!This first volume was really awesome!The creative team, Hill & Rodriguez,
I'm new in the graphic novel game so I'm not sure how to rate this series to others. But, I will say this one was amazing.Welcome to Lovecraft is the first graphic novel in the series Locke & Key by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez. They did a fantastic job on the collaboration with the storyline and graphics. Really well done!Here's a look at some of the images in the book...I can't wait to find out what's up with this house, these magic keys and who's at the bottom of the well that was
I think most of my friends on Goodreads have either shelved this book to read or have read it. I had to jump on that bandwagon but I was a bit scared. You see most of them have loved it. Except Erica But she is a hater rebel. Usually books that everyone else loves and fangirl/boys over tend to leave me dry.I actually liked this one! It starts off all violent and shit. This guy is killed by a teenage nut job and the nut job is going for his family also, but they get away from him and he ends
re-read in 2020So much better than the show. My god.re-read in 2017This is a re-read for me, and it's my favorite graphic novel series of all time so I'm LOVING IT.
This comic actually confused me quite a bit at the start. I was a bit slow to catch on but once I did, wow! I thought this comic was quite dark, interesting and gripping. It's quite an original concept and I can't wait to read what happens next. The illustrations and colouring were pretty good but I absolutely loved the covers for each individual issue. I would recommend this.
