Hi All,
I am happy for the January book right now so that peeps can get organised over the Christmas period.
I have heard nothing but good things about Locke and Key so it seems like a no brainer….
Volume 1 is available at Amazon for £12.15 delivered (http://goo.gl/IPLLQ) or from Forbidden Planet for £10.34 but delivery might be charged (http://goo.gl/S0KY2)
Enjoy your reading and we can chat about it at the end of January!
Cheers
Stevie

Hmmm, interesting points there GoddTodd, I have had decidedly mixed feelings about this after reading volume 1.
As you state, the characters do not have any real spark to them (yet?) but the premise of the story is intriguing and I have picked up volumes 2,3 and 4 digitally to see if it goes anywhere.
I like that fact that the supernatural element is not isolated to the house (seen in the school flashbacks etc) and that there are limitless possibilities with all the keys hinted at by the end of volume 1. Its an interesting start to what has the potential to be a very different style of story.
On your other point, American Vampire is a cracking series, one that I could see being ported to a TV miniseries (crosses fingers!) – Snyder's storylines are well thought out and clever, its easy to see why he is at the helm of Batman at the moment!

I'm currently reading Omega the final volume (issue 2 came out just before Xmas).
I'm a big fan of this series. Joe Hill (Stephen King's son) tells a great story with the secrets of the house and all the abilities of the keys.
It probably doesn't really kick in until Head Games when they start getting more keys and Dodge gets more ominous.
I love the art especially as the series goes on.
It's probably not as good as American Vampire, but I love it for a different reason.
Also I was bummed when they cancelled the TV show after filming a pilot, but it was probably going to be too expensive to do all the effects etc.

I may be chipping in on this a bit. That's what I'm reading at the minute.

I finished it very recently and really enjoyed it. The ending was very intriguing and my main character was probably the youngest son. Can't remember his name. The premise of magic only working on kids is very good and it sort of reminded me of Pan's Labyrinth.
I've moved on to a Stephen King/Scot Snider combo American Vampires.

I love this series, so far I've read up to Crown of Shadows. Its 1 of the few where when the next volume drops through my letter box I just can't stop reading till I've finished. Even started double dipping on my kindle so I can read them anytime. Glad to see everyone else has been enjoying it as well

I haven't posted anything about Locke & Key as I read it a few months ago & haven't had the time to re-read it.
I have bought up to Volume 5 though, so pretty sure I enjoyed it!
