Description
Now a Netflix Original Series! New York Times-bestselling writer Joe Hill and artist Gabriel Rodriguez, the creators behind the acclaimed Locke & Key - Welcome to Lovecraft, return with the next chapter in the ongoing tale, Head Games.
The three Locke children—survivors of a horrific home invasion that claimed their father—have just begun to rebuild their lives when little Bode discovers a key with incredible power. What if overcoming your fears, mastering any skill, learning any art was as simple as turning a key? It could cost you your life—especially if Dodge, the malevolent creature who is the Locke family's sworn enemy, gets his hands on it.
Head Games features an introduction by Warren Ellis (Transmetropolitan).
