Alright, I’m getting backlogged on my book entries… I’m already on book 6 of the year, but I’ve only written about 3. And, after tonight’s exhibit opening, in going to be doing a lot of reading! So, I’m taking a short break from ALA to do a short write up on my first reread of 2015.

I finished this reread well before I completed The Wise Man’s Fear, but I couldn’t bring myself to write about anything formally until I wrote about Rothfuss. Joe Hill’s graphic novel is just stellar, and Rodriguez’s artwork compliments the story. You feel like you’re experiencing the world of these children/teens who have just lost their father in a very distressing way. Now, they face new dangers and horrors in Key House, their father’s childhood home, on the isle of Lovecraft. And in keeping with they title, one of the biggest mysteries has to do with doors…and keys.

As with a large portion of my books, this one comes Annie approved (she’s my personal librarian!). The story melds mystical, horror, and reality seamlessly in this collection of the first few issues of the comic, a prefect recipe for my type of tale. I already have the next two volumes, and I’m certain there will be much more to say as I work my way through the series!
