Joe Hill, the acclaimed young horror writer, and son of genre legend Stephen King, is moving from horror fiction to horror comics. In just a few short years, Hill has established himself, from behind his moniker of obscurity, as one of the premiere new writers of dark literature. Now he?s partnering with IDW to create a comic-book series called Locke and Key. The book follows three children who are custodians of a giant old mansion, filled with doors that change whoever steps through them, turning children to old men and boys to girls. The mansion is also filled with terrible creatures who are ceaseless in their quest to get the children to open the most terrible door of all. I can commiserate with them, there are all types of terrible creatures in my giant old mansion (or tiny cubicle), and I?ll be damned if they, too, aren?t desperate to get me to open that evil door.
