Locke & Key

Joe Hill’s Chilling Graphic Novel Masterpiece Adapted into an Immersive Thirteen-Hour Audio Drama

Following the horrific, traumatic murder of their father in a brutal home invasion, the three Locke siblings—Tyler, Kinsey, and six-year-old Bode—relocate with their grieving mother to their ancestral Massachusetts estate, Keyhouse. When young Bode begins hearing whispers from the bottom of an old well, he discovers that the ancient mansion holds dozens of supernatural keys forged from demonic metal, each granting impossible abilities such as unlocking one's mind, turning into a ghost, or changing gender. But Keyhouse also conceals a malevolent, shapeshifting entity named Dodge, who will stop at nothing to manipulate the grieving children and unlock the Black Door buried deep beneath the earth.

Adapted by audio auteur Dirk Maggs from the award-winning graphic novel series by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodríguez, this full-cast dramatisation turns visual horror into an overwhelming auditory nightmare. The metallic jingle of supernatural keys, the creaking floorboards of the sprawling Victorian manor, the howling ocean winds, and the guttural whispers of demonic shadows echo with hair-raising fidelity through your headphones. Featured within our Cinematic Audiobooks collection alongside dark masterworks like The Sandman, this production proves that acoustic soundscaping can amplify psychological dread and grief far beyond what print or television can achieve.

Spanning over thirteen hours of non-stop supernatural suspense, this recording offers extraordinary long-term credit value for dark fantasy and horror enthusiasts. Hill seamlessly balances the whimsy of childhood discovery against graphic, bone-chilling terror and profound family grief, keeping the listener emotionally devastated and utterly hooked across every chapter. Investing a single monthly credit grants you a prestige audio movie that will hold you spellbound and leave you listening well into the midnight hours with the lights turned on, demonstrating how full-cast audio theater can deliver a terrifying, masterfully sustained sensory thrill ride, leaving an indelible impression on anyone who dares to cross Keyhouse's haunted threshold.
