April 22, 2017      Erica Robyn      Leave a Comment

Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks by Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez

Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks is another killer installation in this series. While I loved the read, I’m also so sad that I’m nearing the end of this series!

Click below to check out my reviews for the other volumes:
Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft
Locke & Key, Vol. 2: Head Games
Locke & Key, Vol. 3: Crown of Shadows
Locke & Key, Vol. 4: Keys to the Kingdom

Let’s dive in!

My Thoughts on Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks by Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez

In this volume, we are shown a lot of the past. First, we learn about a group of minutemen who are trapped deep in the cave during the Revolutionary War. In the cave, the black door is open and a young Ben Locke must to find a way to close it. We also really get to know Rendell Locke (the Locke siblings father), Erin Voss, Kim Topher, Ellie Whedon, Mark Cho, and Luke “Dodge” Caravaggio when they were all teenagers and enjoyed messing around with the keys. One day, the group makes a very poor decision, which changed their path forever. 

In present time, Tyler and Kinsey use a key that allows them to travel through time so they can learn more about the keys. 

This volume is another really great collection! My review here is going to be pretty short because I don’t want to spoil anything.

I will say that I loved that this collection was mainly focused in the past so I could get answers to a lot of questions that I have been mulling over. I also really enjoyed learning more about the history of the keys and how they were used during different times. 

Getting to know Rendell Locke, Luke “Dodge” Caravaggio, and the crew was really interesting! I loved that we were given the chance to read more about them. It added even more depth to this already amazing story! 

My Final Thoughts on Locke & Key, Vol. 5: Clockworks

I gave this volume another five stars! I just loved it so much.

Max is one of the most hilarious people that I fol Max is one of the most hilarious people that I follow on Twitter! I originally learned who he was after seeing him participate in the KillerCon 2020 Virtual Event. I went to follow him and his publishing house, Perpetual Motion Machine (that he runs with Lori Michelle), immediately after his reading.

Within the PMM publishing house, they also have the imprint, Ghoulish Books, which launched in January of 2022. Max’s latest book, Maggots Screaming!, launched today April 12th, 2022 from that imprint. In celebration, I’m so excited to be sharing this interview with Max!

Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collectio Diaries of the Damned by Ivan Radev is a collection of tales that span numerous dark fears. But as always, even in the darkness, there’s a bit of light.

In the foreword, the author warns that this is a book of fears, and boy does he play on fears wonderfully! Each tale is presented to readers in the first person to really get readers in the characters shoes. Please use caution here when you dive in. The author does not shy away from the darkness.

Phew, this read will take readers on quite the journey! It was the perfect read for a dark and rainy spring weekend.
