Confuzzled Books

If you are wondering what kinds of books I review and events I host, this little section is the place to look. Books I love to read: Children's, Young Adult, Paranormal and Fantasy books. Books I like to read: General Fiction, Romances, Religious Fiction, Mysteries and Biographies. So those are the genres of books I will generally review. If you send me a book outside of those areas, I'll consider it, but it may not fit my tastes. Reviews will take about 2 months to post; I try to post them around the time the book is released. On giveaways: Sending me a signed book to give away on the site is a great way to get your book noticed. I do a "mystery book" giveaway about every 2 weeks, where I read the book and twitter about it without revealing its title, then reveal what I've been reading and give it away. The whole event takes a couple weeks, and I feature the giveaway book on my blog for most of that time.

Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft

Locke & Key, Vol. 1: Welcome to Lovecraft - Joe Hill, Gabriel Rodríguez I have never read any thing by Joe Hill or Lovecraft and I have to say I was impressed with the creepiness of the story. My favorite supernatural thing that happened was the the door in the house you go through and you die but you can come back to your body later. As you are dead you see everything going on in the house.

I am not sure where Lovecraft comes into play but I know that Lovecraft is known for generally insinuating creepy feeling. I think this does that to some extent but it is a graphic novel so most of it is visual. The writing is definitely is what helps it along.

Visually the art is stunning and gets the job done.

I couldn’t really ask for more or a better storyline for this graphic novel.
