Gabriel Rodriguez (Illustrator)

Now a Netflix Original Series! Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times-bestselling author Joe Hill continues his Eisner Award-winning story of dark fantasy and wonder.

Tyler and Kinsey Locke have no idea that their now-deceased nemesis—Lucas "Dodge" Caravaggio—has taken over the body of their younger brother, Bode. With unrestricted access to Keyhouse, Dodge's ruthless quest to find the Omega Key and open the Black Door is almost complete. But Tyler and Kinsey have a dangerous key of their own—one that can unlock all the secrets of Keyhouse by opening a gateway to the past. The time has come for the Lockes to face both their own legacy and the darkness waiting behind the Black Door. Because if they don't learn from their family history, they may be doomed to repeat it, and time is running out...

Reviews

[Mercy]

It was good but the fact that it was mostly developed in the past, didn't let me feel the same way I felt while reading the previous ones.

Just as good as I remembered it. So glad I decided to reread these.

Holy flashbacks Batman! In Clockworks, we get to see the beginnings of Keyhouse Manor, the keys, the demons, all of it. We get to see the past recreated and it was such an experience to read and see.

Writing wise, Joe Hill is still bringing this world to life with adding to the plot, allowing the characters to continue to develop, and giving the Locke kids a fighting freaking chance. Being able to see the past was such an essential part to this story, and I'm glad it happened. Visually, well, Gabriel Rodriguez has done another awesome job at bringing this world to life.


I'm afraid if I add too much to this review, I'll end up spoiling past volumes, so I won't. Just read them and know, when you get to Clockworks a lot will be revealed. The story is nearing its end and the good v. evil fight is on the horizon.


And, at this point, I'm praying for a happy ending. Haven't the Lockes been through enough yet Joe?
