    Review of Volume 1 Hardcover

    I heard of this book, most likely the same way everyone else heard about it, that Stephen kings son, Joe Hill, is writing a comic book. Now, he is a very good writer in his own right (I have come to find out lately), but all I knew was a famous person’s kid was trying to write a comic. Right. I’ll put it next to the books written by Milo Ventimiglia, or Tyrese Gibson (MAY-HEM!!!!..... anyone?). So, I didn’t buy it in issues, thinking it was just a gimmick for a celebrity. Then the reviews start coming in. The last time I have heard so much love and hype for a book not from one of the big 2, was The Walking Dead. So, I decided to pick up the hardcover of the first two series (Welcome to Lovecraft, and Head Games), just to check it out.

    Wow.

It was the `Lovecraft` word that drew me, and looking at the cover I thought Locke & Key was a Cthulhu Mythos based story... It isn`t. It`s a mysterious dark fantasy, although we don`t really get too much of that until the last couple of pages. Welcome To Lovecraft concerns itself with telling us, the readers, about the unfortunate Tyler and how he comes to stay at the imposing gothic ...
