Locke & Key: Heaven and Earth
Locke & Key: Heaven and Earth | Joe Hill
11 posts | 21 read | 6 to read
Three never-before-collected stories set in the world of Keyhouse, showcasing the depths of depravity and heart-breaking heights that New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez have to offer. This special deluxe release finally reprints the oft-requested and long-denied Eisner-winning one-shot, "Open the Moon"! Plus the other long-sold-out one-shot, "Grindhouse"! PLUS, the even more hard-to-find IDW 10th anniversary Locke & Key tale, "In the Can"! Extra covers, behind-the-scenes photos, and more make this a truly worthy addition to the series the A.V. Club called a "modern masterpiece."

Book #23
5/5
This is a short collection (3 stories), one of which was also in L&K : The Golden Age. It's my favourite Locke & Key story, and is called Open the Moon. When I first read it, I almost didn't get far - a young boy with epilepsy, having seizures. I generally avoid epilepsy in books and on television for several reasons - it's just too close to my reality (my son has a severe form of epilepsy called Dravet Syndrome).

Kris10H But I had already read almost all of L&K, and I decided to soldier through. I'm so glad I did, because this story is now SO close to my heart. It speaks to what it is like as the parents of a child with epilepsy; the worries, the fears, the helplessness you feel in your inability to take it all away and make your child feel better. It speaks to the altered quality of life, and limitations, of a child with severe epilepsy. 1y
Kris10H It reminds me to be thankful that, though these fears and disadvantages are still a reality, there are now medications that can help extend and improve the quality of life of those with this illness. I won't- and in fact cannot - try to explain the storyline, but suffice it to say that Open the Moon means a lot to me. 1y

I found this at random in the library (book not the baby ?) and was super excited because I had no idea it existed. Well, I was fine without it in my life. Really these stories added nothing to the understanding of the house nor did they provide that much background "colour"- could the third even be considered a story?

I liked the short stories – the first one was the best one, in my opinion. The photos weren‘t as interesting, but were ok and the book finished off with full page illustrations of the children in the series with other things in the background (the back of the book tells me these are additional covers). Overall, I‘m rating it ok

This was a nice addition to the series. Even though the stories are only loosely connected to the main storyline, they all touch on important aspects of it. It definitely made me want to revisit the series.

Well this was okay. The stories were heart-wrenching, gory, and silly, respectively. It doesn‘t really add to the overall storyline of the main series, but it was fun. Super short and super quick. The images at the end of the volume, with the creators, were probably the coolest.

⭐️⭐️⭐️

We have a bit of a snow storm happening, so it‘s a perfect night to get some reading done!! Because I don‘t want this series to end, I grabbed the ‘side stories‘ volume!

This quick graphic novel was a short and sweet trip back to Lovecraft. The first story was very sweet, the second was very graphic but had a nice twist, and the third was too short and didn't make much sense. I enjoyed seeing the pictures of the authors at the end of the book, although it was mostly filler. Overall, I'd give this 3⭐️- worth reading if you are a fan of the Locke and Key series but not a lot of substance here. #joehill #graphicnovel

The first story in this book, Open the Moon, is just gorgeous. The other two are fine. I also loved the photo essay showing the authors in the places Lovecraft, Massachusetts, was based on.

ToniFGMAMTC I've read vol 1-6 & liked them 7y
KathyWheeler @ToniFGMAMTC These volumes are stand-alone stories that deal with previous tenants of Keyhouse. (edited) 7y
ToniFGMAMTC @KathyWheeler oh I didn't even know of them 7y
KathyWheeler @ToniFGMAMTC I hadn't known anything about them either until @JoeStalksBeck posted about reading the original ones and someone mentioned these two in a comment. 7y
