Story
Victoria McQueen has an uncanny knack for finding things: a misplaced bracelet, a missing photograph, answers to unanswerable questions. When she rides her bicycle over the rickety old covered bridge in the woods near her house, she always emerges in the places she needs to be. Vic doesn't tell anyone about her unusual ability, because she knows no one will believe her. She has trouble understanding it herself.

Story
Ignatius Perrish spent the night drunk and doing terrible things. He woke up the next morning with a thunderous hangover, a raging headache, and a pair of horns growing from his temples. At first Ig thought the horns were a hallucination, the product of a mind damaged by rage and grief. He had spent the last year in a lonely, private purgatory, following the death of his beloved, Merrin Williams, who was raped and murdered under inexplicable circumstances.

Story
No one knows exactly when it began or where it originated. A terrifying new plague is spreading like wildfire across the country, striking cities one by one: Boston, Detroit, Seattle. The doctors call it Draco Incendia Trychophyton. To everyone else it's Dragonscale, a highly contagious, deadly spore that marks its hosts with beautiful black and gold marks across their bodies - before causing them to burst into flames. Millions are infected; blazes erupt everywhere. There is no antidote. No one is safe.

On an entirely normal, beautiful fall day in Chester's Mill, Maine, the town is inexplicably and suddenly sealed off from the rest of the world by an invisible force field. Planes crash into it and fall from the sky in flaming wreckage, a gardener's hand is severed as "the dome" comes down on it, people running errands in the neighboring town are divided from their families, and cars explode on impact. No one can fathom what this barrier is, where it came from, and when - or if - it will go away.

Winter is coming. Such is the stern motto of House Stark, the northernmost of the fiefdoms that owe allegiance to King Robert Baratheon in far-off King's Landing. There Eddard Stark of Winterfell rules in Robert's name. Far to the north, behind the towering Wall, lie savage Wildings and worse - unnatural things relegated to myth during the centuries-long summer, but proving all too real and all too deadly in the turning of the season. Yet a more immediate threat lurks to the south, where Jon Arryn, the Hand of the King, has died under mysterious circumstances....

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.

Very intriguing
Not sure what all the bad reviews are about... I guess you really need that twisted mindset of years of Stephen King to understand Joe Hill. I will say it does require a lot of focus and imagination to keep up with the different references, times, and situations. I though the story was very fun and the way audible performed this was fantastic...it really put me in a theater watching a movie...

Folks, this is an audio play.
Dismiss all the negative reviews from people complaining they couldn't follow the narration.
Why? Because it's not narrated. This is an audio play, much like what people used to listen to on the radio a hundred years ago or so. Yes, there are many different voice actors, and yes you do have to pay attention to follow the plot. But it's worth it.
I enjoyed the hell out of this and want to find more audiobooks in this vein. It's one thing for a narrator to describe a scream, it's quite another to hear the actual terror and pain.

Foreshadowing Under Locke and Key
This is my first fictional audiobook.
The story was an enjoyable kind of easy to follow given all that was going on.
Whereas the answers behind essential questions unfolded quite neatly, I found my ears invested in the motivations behind the actions that drove this story onward. The youthful innocence was palatable even when that is something I am usually not a fan of. The music helped play up the suspense in a fashion that was not too jarring from the proceeding events. The voice actors helped lots in making the characters come into their own individuality. And the sound direction for the action scenes helped play up the dread, joy, or other emotions that were meant to be played.
I sought an audiobook out in part to replace the presence of shows by radio, which I caught glimpses of in my youth through media without the saturation or incentives to tune in. Originally, with all that took place in the first book, I later realized that I mistakenly started playing this than the three hour book instead for a part of my road trip. Since then, I decided to see the rest of it through to a satisfying conclusion for me.
I would recommend anyone who has patience for a series of plays and an ear for an audience ought to check this out. Supposing that is all I have to say immediately after my first listen, I look forward to other stories to keep me occupied while being my busy self that is at least as entertaining as this.

Poor execution
I hate giving low reviews. I'm thinking the story might be good if done in a normal format where someone reads you the book. This is done as more of a live-play type production. It left me clueless as to who is who, what the heck is going on and what just happened. I got this free, which is about what it's worth in my opinion.

Absolutely incredible
I was unsure how this would work (being a graphic novel) and haven't listened to a book with so many voice actors for years but it worked amazing well. Occasionally, clearly, extra dialogue had been added as this would not usually be needed in the original format but it was never forced. Really interesting story and loveable characters, it worked really well as an audio book. Good pace and a little different. The reason it lost a star was there is a character who has Downs Syndrome and is both impacted by his condition as expected but is also very insightful to it (in a negative way) and a little extra sensory which I dislike in books, I like to see such people normalised as everyone else is and I didn't like this combination. That said it was really good to see such a character included as there is a real lack of 'different' characters existing in books I just would have liked him to just be.

Like Listening to a High Budget Film
I enjoyed listening to this audiobook but there was little in way of actual storytelling, more of characters speaking with high drama and lots of special effects. The result was dramatic and engrossing. I'm not sure I would always go for this type of audiobook, as it lacks the intimacy of a one narrator tell. But it certainly gave me an idea of what can be done with sound.

DNF
This is one of the few audiobooks I haven't been able to finish. I struggled on as far as I could, then realised I wasn't even halfway through and there was still what seemed like 20 hours to go.
The premise is fascinating and trying to audio-adapt a visual medium like graphic novels is ambitious, but I felt it failed in the execution. I rapidly got fatigued by the endless screaming, sobbing and shouting that comprises most of the dialogue, by trying to guess what was going on from the characters' largely non-verbal reactions, and by wishing the darn thing had subtitles because I couldn't make out what was being said. I found the characters unlikeable and the plot insane, but not in a good way. Maybe I should have read the comic first.

An emotional rollercoaster.
Locke and Key is bought to life by a superb cast and there's also ambient noise to really put you as a fly on the wall as your mind constructs the image.
I thoroughly enjoyed the listen, it was a turbulent rollercoaster of emotions all the way through. Picture this, I'm a 6'4, 33 year old, gym loving male, I'm also foreman where I work and after 10 clock tea break, most of my delegation and other duties are pretty much done. So its around this time I pop my head phones on and work preying I won't get disturbed ( fat chance).
Now, three times this audio comic has had me fighting back tears. Its not exactly the look you wanna go for when you've 9 men to look after.
Our hero, Tyler, is a level headed young man for an 18 year old, looking after his mum and siblings in the abscense of his father, as past events spiral their life out of control in the magical Locke household that belongs to their Uncle Duncan.
The story twists and turns and comes to a conclusion you find yourself asking how you never saw it coming.
10/10. Now to treat my lovely lady to a new graphic novel I know she is gonna love.

Audio drama performed by full cast, only thing I will say is that I'm going to listen to it AGAIN!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Emotional rollercoaster indeed! I really feel for the Mother as much as the other main characters.
Any additional comments?
A great fantasy horror thrill for me.

Excellent, amazing and original!!
Loved the plot with twists and turns and incredibly absorbing. There are some books which have captivated me and meant I would read and read and read as desperate to reach the end of it. This is the first audio book that is equally compelling! Loved the cast and dramatic presentation. The only negative found was that sometimes I struggled to understand who was who mainly because it packs so much in and jumps a little plot wise. STILL AMAZING!

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.

Enjoyable
Great story - great voice performances. There were a couple of occasions things became unclear without the aid of the visual medium (originally this was a graphic novel). Enjoyable though - worth your time.

great audio book
I loved the audiobook, however it didn't feel like I was getting the whole picture unlike with the sandman books were they describe what is happening, in this book it seems like you should be reading along with the graphic novel to get the complete picture.

didn't hit the spot
My third book from Joe Hill and I think my last, maybe I'm to old for this book? it seemed like it would be more suited to "young adults" or teens. First Time listening to a book that has numerous voices, music and sound effects... took me a while to get used to , the performances were really good but it didn't work for me.

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.
