Wow. Volume 5 of the Locke & Key series is scary, creepy, intense, and hypnotic. This volume fills in a lot of the missing pieces in the story, finally revealing how the keys came into being, the connection to the Revolutionary War hinted at in earlier volumes, and the story of what really happened to Rendell and his friends all those years earlier. Simply breathtaking. I can't believe that the final volume, Omega, is still many months away from publication. Joe Hill is a genius at building suspense. Waiting is going to be very, very painful. Locke & Key is an amazing series, and I can't recommend it highly enough.
