«Quello che ci unisce è un filo sottile.Gli altri pensano che il dolore sia unabomba che ti esplode nel cervello, manon è così. E’ un filo sottile, il dolore.Un filo rosso.»Da cinque anni Antonio Lavezzi non ha più una vita. Una tragedia orribile ha distrutto la sua famiglia e lui è scappato, rifugiandosi in un paese dell’alto Veneto e nel suo lavoro di ingegnere edile. Metodico e preciso, si è impegnato per avere un’esistenza il più possibile anonima, al riparo da altri traumi. Poi, un giorno, il telefono squilla: Antonio deve correre in cantiere, è morto un uomo. All’inizio sembra solo un drammatico incidente, ma ben presto si svela essere qualcos’altro: quel morto è un messaggio per lui, una richiesta d’aiuto. Qualcuno gli chiede di fare ciò che nessun altro fa, gli chiede di liberare quella sete di vendetta che per troppo tempo ha tentato di comprimere, e di metterla al suo servizio. Antonio è confuso, ha paura di sporcarsi le mani, ma lentamente, senza quasi accorgersene, viene risucchiato in un vortice di messaggi da decifrare, di incontri sconvolgenti, di gesti inspiegabili. Non è lui a orchestrare il gioco, e non è neppure l’unico anello della spaventosa catena mortale: a lungo si limiterà a eseguire gli ordini e non farà troppe domande, ma al culmine della tensione sarà costretto a scegliere che cosa diventare. In un thriller che non dà tregua, Paola Barbato costruisce un’implacabile macchina narrativa alimentata dalla cronaca nera di questi anni, e mette a nudo sentimenti e ossessioni che non vorremmo mai confessare. Perché Antonio Lavezzi è un uomo come tanti, e il suo bisogno di giustizia è anche il nostro.

Patrick has a routinized morning regimen to maintain his appearance of attractiveness and fitness. He, like those in his network, are vain, narcissistic, egomaniacal and competitive, always having to one up everyone else in that presentation of oneself, but he, unlike the others, realizes that, for himself, all of these are masks to hide what is truly underneath, someone/something inhuman in nature. In other words, he is comprised of a shell resembling a human that contains only greed and disgust, greed in wanting what others may have, and disgust for those who do not meet his expectations and for himself in not being the first or the best. That disgust ends up manifesting itself in wanting to rid the world of those people, he not seeing them as people but only of those characteristics he wants to rid.

From the award-winning, New York Times bestselling author of NOS4A2 and Heart-Shaped Box comes a chilling novel about a worldwide pandemic of spontaneous combustion that threatens to reduce civilization to ashes and a band of improbable heroes who battle to save it, led by one powerful and enigmatic man known as the Fireman.The fireman is coming. Stay cool.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.Harper Grayson, a compassionate, dedicated nurse as pragmatic as Mary Poppins, treated hundreds of infected patients before her hospital burned to the ground. Now she’s discovered the telltale gold-flecked marks on her skin. When the outbreak first began, she and her husband, Jakob, had made a pact: they would take matters into their own hands if they became infected. To Jakob’s dismay, Harper wants to live—at least until the fetus she is carrying comes to term. At the hospital, she witnessed infected mothers give birth to healthy babies and believes hers will be fine too. . . if she can live long enough to deliver the child.Convinced that his do-gooding wife has made him sick, Jakob becomes unhinged, and eventually abandons her as their placid New England community collapses in terror. The chaos gives rise to ruthless Cremation Squads—armed, self-appointed posses roaming the streets and woods to exterminate those who they believe carry the spore. But Harper isn’t as alone as she fears: a mysterious and compelling stranger she briefly met at the hospital, a man in a dirty yellow fire fighter’s jacket, carrying a hooked iron bar, straddles the abyss between insanity and death. Known as The Fireman, he strolls the ruins of New Hampshire, a madman afflicted with Dragonscale who has learned to control the fire within himself, using it as a shield to protect the hunted . . . and as a weapon to avenge the wronged.In the desperate season to come, as the world burns out of control, Harper must learn the Fireman’s secrets before her life—and that of her unborn child—goes up in smoke.

2020I'm re-reading the books because we just watched the Netflix show and it made me think about how much I loved this story. This is still one of my all-time favorite graphic novels and if you haven't read it yet, I honestly can't recommend it enough. 2018I was gifted the beautiful hardback set of these a while back and just finished re-reading the first book...again. Can't believe how much I'd forgotten! The gist is that the violent murder of their father by two teens sends the three children and their mother to their dad's ancestral home. Keyhouse. Layer by layer the story of why their father was killed, what happened to them during the time the killers were in their house, and how the family is coping, starts coming together to paint a heart-wrenching tale. Then add a layer of mystery to the house itself, with its strange and magical keys that keep popping up, and you've got something amazing to read. Because there's a secret history to everything their father had long ago forgotten about the house, and the youngest child, Bode, is starting to discover it all over again.And fuck! It's creepy as hell!Locke &amp; Key easily makes my Top 10 favorite graphic novel series. It's just one of the better-written stories, horror or otherwise, out there.Highly recommended!Older reviews - (view spoiler)[ Re-read 2015Thank you Dᴀɴ 2.☢’s  for letting me read your copy of this one!For some odd reason, I only gave this 4 stars the first time around. Not sure what I was thinking? This was fantastic! All 5 stars!Have you read this series yet?If not, DO IT!Original review 2012This is the first thing I've read by Joe Hill, and I have to say that I'm very impressed. The dialogue was amazing, and the characters felt quite real, especially for a graphic novel.What seems to be a story about a family dealing with a terrible tragedy, slowly unfolds into something more. Brrrrr.The artwork perfectly complements the creeptastic storyline in this. What else can I say? The entire thing was very well done, and I've heard from several sources that it only gets better from here on out. (hide spoiler)]
