Netflix‘s “Locke & Key” fantasy horror series based on IDW graphic novels may be wrapping up with the upcoming final season, but Keyhouse still has a lot of stories left to tell.
A brand new collection of stories in the graphic novel Locke & Key: The Golden Age arrives on April 26 in hardcover form. All of which unlock moments from the Locke family’s extensive history within the magical Keyhouse.
“For two hundred years, the Locke family has watched over Keyhouse, a New England mansion where reality has come unhinged, and shadows are known to walk on their own. Here they have guarded a collection of impossible keys, instruments capable of unlocking both unparalleled wonder and unimaginable evil. Take a glimpse into the lives of Chamberlin Locke and his family in the early 20th century as they use the keys to fight battles big and small. From a giant spider inside Keyhouse to the killing fields of Europe during WWI and the depths of Hell, the Lockes are in a constant struggle to keep the dark forces of their world at bay.”
The Golden Age collects four stories by writer Joe Hill and illustrator Gabriel Rodriguez. They include “Small World,” “Open the Moon,” the complete three-part miniseries “…In Pale Battalions Go…” and the 80-page, two-part crossover with The Sandman Universe, “Hell & Gone.”
The collection also features an exclusive with the previously unpublished “Face the Music” short story, created by Hill and Rodriguez as part of a vinyl record project that never materialized. “Face the Music” is a whimsical tale of the Locke family set in the early 1900s, introducing a brand-new key: the Orchestra Key.
