Publisher's Summary

Audie Award Finalist, Original Work, 2016

Based on the best-selling, award-winning graphic novel series Locke & Key - written by acclaimed suspense novelist Joe Hill (NOS4A2, Horns) and illustrated by Gabriel Rodriguez - this multicast, fully dramatized audio production brings the images and words to life.

A brutal and tragic event drives the Locke family from their home in California to the relative safety of their ancestral estate in Lovecraft, Massachusetts, an old house with powerful keys and fantastic doors that transform all who dare to walk through them. As siblings Tyler, Kinsey, and Bode Locke discover the secrets of the old house, they also find that it's home to a hate-filled and relentless creature that will not rest until it forces open the most terrible door of them all....

Featuring performances by Haley Joel Osment (Entourage, The Sixth Sense), Tatiana Maslany (Orphan Black), Kate Mulgrew (Orange Is the New Black, Star Trek: Voyager), Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodriguez, and Stephen King (The Stand, 11-22-63), as well as a cast of more than 50 voice actors, this audio production preserves the heart-stopping impact of the graphic novel's astounding artwork through the use of richly imagined sound design and a powerful original score.

*Locke & Key contains explicit language and adult situations.

Critic Reviews

"The concepts in this production, based on a graphic novel, are perfectly executed by a full cast.... Kate Mulgrew leads the way with her perfect portrayal of an ancient grandmother with an evil streak." (AudioFile)

Better than the Netflix series

Like be it. Fun story that is read and produced so well. Reminds me of the stories on radio back in the day. Such a full presentation of the material, background sound setting and music to set tone. Loving it!

BINGE WORTHY

I couldn't stop. I listened to the whole thing in one go. All 11+ hours of it!

A masterful radio drama of the likes I have never before heard.
And the first of its kind since the days my Dad used to put on the Goon Show.

I WISH THEY DID MORE BOOKS LIKE THESE!!!!!

Perfect 5/7

great attempt

I loved the concept of what was done here, there aren't too many full production audio books around and full credit to the producers, writers and actors.
however it did get a bit confusing at times with some of the sound effects.

Horror, Family, Humour, Mystery in equal measures

I expected a narrative reading but was pleasantly surprised by the high quality drama performance extravaganza.

More enjoyable after reading the graphic novel first. Well done production with well thought out sound cues for going through doors... Excellent vocal performances - got me really involved in the drama.

Technical problems

Overall I really enjoyed the book. I wanted to finish it more faster.
However I rated this book four stars because I had technical problems when using Alexa to play the book.
It would play the book fine for awhile, and then I would get a message saying I am having trouble playing the book.
This happened a few times. So in the end I finished the book on my phone.
However when someone reads this review the problem may be fixed.
