Locke and Key, vol 3: Crown of Shadows by Joe Hill (writer) and Gabriel Rodriguez (artist); graphic novel, horror; 154 pages
Ever since I stumbled across this series, I've been eagerly awaiting each new volume. The story is simple, but creepy: a family still reeling from a terrible tragedy moves into a huge old house in a small, insular town. The children continuously discover old keys on the grounds, each of which does something otherworldly. Of course, there's another, malevolent being after the keys as well, and this volume shows its first overt attack on the family. Rodriguez's art is amazing, and this may be the only comic I've read where I've been truly scared while reading. Everyone should check this out!
