There was a lot of violence and blood, but it was so wonderfully done. This is definitely a comic for a mature audience. The action starts right away and carries through the rest of the volume. The storyline was suspenseful and very dark. This first volume sat on my TBR for an embarrassingly long time, but now that I have read it, I can already tell you that it is going to be one of my all time favorite series ( dear other volumes, please don’t let me down!). I simply saw that it was by Joe Hill and wanted to check it out. I did not do any research before diving into this book. Because Bode is so young and has just been through a trauma, his family thinks he is making it all up. Right away Bode discovers a few paranormal features of the house a key that opens a door which turns you into a ghost when you pass through, and a woman who speaks to him from the bottom of a well. Tyler witnesses the whole thing and then has to fight back while his two younger siblings hide.Īfter the funeral for Rendell, the family goes to Lovecraft, Massachusetts to stay at a house called Keyhouse. When Rendell says he doesn’t know what they are talking about, the students murder him. While at their summer home, two disgruntled students that had Rendell as a guidance counselor show up and demand that he give them keys.

In this first volume we meet the Locke family Rendell (father), Nina (mother), Tyler (oldest son), Kinsey (middle daughter), and Bode (youngest son). 1: Welcome to Lovecraft by Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez (Illustrator) Let’s dive in!
