Whoops. I forgot to mark this read! It wasn't as strong as the last one, but getting more backstory helps flesh things out. ( )

RECENSIONE A CURA DEL BLOG "GLI OCCHI DEL LUPO" - Pamela Perretta

Quando Rendell Locke viene assassinato senza un apparente motivo, la sua famiglia decide di trasferirsi a Key House, proprietà che appartiene ai Locke da diverse generazioni. Qui Nina insieme ai suoi tre figli spera di poter ricominciare una nuova vita lasciandosi alle spalle il passato, ma il destino sembra avere altri progetti per loro.
Key House, infatti, non si chiama così per caso: deve il suo nome ad una serie di chiavi magiche che sono nascoste tra le mura della proprietà. Tyler, Kinsey e Body iniziano pian piano a trovare tutte le chiavi scoprendone i poteri, tanto pericolosi quanto affascinanti, ma ignorano che, involontariamente, insieme alle chiavi hanno risvegliato un’entità assetata di vendetta che farà di tutto pur di averle!

“Locke & Key” è una serie di graphic novels composta dai seguenti volumi:
Locke & Key vol. 1 – Benvenuti a Lovecraft;
Locke & Key vol. 2 – Giochi mentali;
Locke & Key vol. 3 – La Corona delle Ombre;
Locke & Key vol. 4 – Le Chiavi del Regno;
Locke & Key vol. 5 – Ingranaggi;
Locke & Key vol. 6 – Alpha e Omega;
Locke & Key vol. 7 Cielo e Terra (special).

La storia che Hill ha ideato è molto visionaria, come ci si aspetterebbe (giustamente) dal degno figlio di Stephen King!

La trama è complessa e viene sviluppata molto bene nel corso dei sei volumi (il settimo libro è un racconto special), incatenando il lettore già dalle prime pagine.

Joe Hill è riuscito a costruire un mondo tutto suo, in cui la realtà ha molte più sfaccettature di quelle che siamo abituati a vedere nelle storie fantasy e soprannaturali.
I disegni sono fatti molto bene, per brevi tratti sono loro, infatti, a raccontare pezzi di storia al posto delle parole.

Con “Locke & Key” si sogna, si sta col fiato sospeso, ci si incuriosisce, si spera, ci si spaventa. E’ un ottimo modo per evadere dalla realtà in un mondo tutto nuovo, con i suoi misteri, le sue stranezze, i suoi pericoli e la sua fantasia.
Decisamente una lettura consigliata. ( )

By far my favorite Graphic Novel series ever. The final volume absolutely brought tears to my eyes. Fantastic series as a whole! ( )

This just keeps getting crazier and crazier. This one focuses mostly on the past. We finally find out how Dodge became evil! Very sad and bloody. Ending definitely creepy with the look "Bode" gives in the panel. Wonderful all around and graphics are awesome as well. ( )

When Kinsey and Tyler find a key and a clock that allow them to travel back in time and view past events at Keyhouse, they start to unravel the mysteries of the keys.

This penultimate volume serves as a denouement, allowing readers to finally see how the keys were forged, how Dodge came to be their adversary, and what's so important about the Omega Key -- and the door it unlocks. Although I know the answers behind many of the series' mysteries due to having watched the TV show first, it was still satisfying to have so many of them resolved right in this one volume.

Clearly we are now gearing up for a final face-off as the Locke children now have (almost) all the information they need to go up against Dodge. I look forward to seeing how it all ends. ( )
