Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft #1 by Joe Hill
5.0
Whoa.
This graphic novel is a beautifully illustrated and masterfully told combination of my deepest fears and wildest dreams.
The Locke children are wonderful characters. The horrors they suffer are heartbreaking, but each of them finds resilience in their own way. Not only does this make you root for them but really helps you learn who they are. Joe Hill deftly unveils a mystery whose pieces are threaded throughout both the lighthearted and the dreadful moments; one that builds in intrigue so that you can't wait to see what's next.
Gabriel Rodriguez's illustrations have a whimsical quality to them that covey the magical nature of Key House so well, but also makes some of the more gruesome and terrifying panels a little easier to ingest.
This story such a wonderfully unique combination of horror and magic - I can't wait to read the next installation!
