Locke & Key: IDW Classic Collections – Crown of Shadows and Keys to the Kingdom

Written by Joe Hill

​
Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (King Sorrow, The Black Phone) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder—with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodríguez—that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. This new edition includes Crown of Shadows and Keys to the Kingdom.

The dead plot against the living, the darkness closes in on Keyhouse, and a woman is shattered beyond repair in the third storyline of the award-winning series, Locke & Key: Crown of Shadows. Then, in Keys to the Kingdom, the Locke children have grown accustomed to the myriad magical keys discovered within their ancestral family home. They have also grown accustomed to tragedy. What they may not be prepared for is just how closely danger stalks their every move.
