Locke & Key: Welcome to Lovecraft, by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez

Much like the story’s namesake, Welcome to Lovecraft tells the story of ordinary people who are confronted by situations that threaten to take their lives or their sanity, whichever one comes first. After the murder of Nina’s husband by a deranged student, she takes her family to live in the family’s ramshackle homestead in the heart of New England in order to start over again. Yet not everything is at it seems in Lovecraft, Massachusetts. An unseen force that’s trapped at the bottom of a well wants something from the youngest child, and won’t stop terrorizing the family until it gets it. The story excels at building suspense, which reaches its apex during the bloody climax of the tale. The artwork is also memorable, featuring a modern gothic vibe that is very easy to get lost in. If you enjoy your comics with thrills and chills (and a couple of psychopath killers for good measure), check this one out.

This comic is recommended for MATURE readers, ages 18 and up.
