      ¡Ahora una serie original de Netflix! Llamada una "obra maestra moderna" por The A.V. Club, esta historia abarca familia y magia, patrimonio y dolor, bien y mal. El aclamado novelista Joe Hill ha creado una apasionante narrativa de fantasía oscura, complementada por asombrosas ilustraciones de Gabriel Rodríguez, que transforman a quienes abren las puertas de Keyhouse. La historia comienza en Lovecraft, donde, tras el asesinato de su padre durante una violenta invasión, los niños Locke regresan a su infancia en Keyhouse, un pueblo aislado en Massachusetts. Su madre, Nina, está atrapada en su dolor y el alcohol, ignorando que Keyhouse esconde secretos inquietantes: puertas cerradas y preguntas sin respuesta. Tyler y Kinsey, los hermanos mayores, no logran lidiar con la situación, pero el menor, Bode, descubre a una amiga en un pozo vacío y una llave que promete diversión. Sin embargo, no todas las puertas están destinadas a ser abiertas. Pronto, antiguos y nuevos horrores, tanto reales como imaginarios, acecharán a la familia Locke, revelando oscuros secretos. Este primer volumen incluye una introducción de Robert Crais, autor de la popular serie de novelas policiacas Elvis Cole.
