Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft
Keyhouse waits...
On a hot and indolent day in high summer, the killers arrive on the doorstep of a small cottage in northern California; before the afternoon is over, two people are dead, and for the survivors, nothing will ever be the same again.
...for them...
The remaining members of the Locke family pick up the pieces of their lives, and haul themselves across the country, hoping for a fresh start in the family’s ancestral home in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. But Keyhouse is a place of secrets and shadows, a repository for a very old collection of keys, with the power to unlock the impossible.
...for Dodge...
It isn’t long before the youngest of the Locke children discovers the other secret of Keyhouse... a living echo hiding in the well, an echo that calls itself Dodge, and that wants oh so badly to be free...
...and for you...
In the Eisner-nominated Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft, collaborators Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez unlock the door to a dark world of wonder and suspense, in one of the most acclaimed graphic novels of the year.
The Subterranean Press edition of Locke & Key includes not only the full color graphic novel, but the more than 250 page script from which it originated.
Joe Hill
Joseph Hillstrom King (born 1972), better known by the pen name Joe Hill, is an American author and comic book writer. Hill is the second child of authors Stephen and Tabitha King. He grew up in Bangor, Maine. His younger brother Owen is also a writer. Hill has three sons.
Hill chose to use an abbreviated form of his given name (a reference to executed labor leader Joe Hill, for whom he was named) in 1997, out of a desire to succeed based solely on his own merits rather than as the son of Stephen King. After achieving a degree of independent success, Hill publicly confirmed his identity in 2007 after an article the previous year in Variety broke his cover (although online speculation about Hill's family background had been appearing since 2005).
