Following their father's gruesome murder in a violent home invasion, the Locke children return to his childhood home of Keyhouse in secluded Lovecraft, Massachusetts. Their mother, Nina, is too trapped in her grief—and a wine bottle—to notice that all in Keyhouse is not what it seems: too many locked doors, too many unanswered questions. Older kids Tyler and Kinsey aren't much better. But not youngest son Bode, who quickly finds a new friend living in an empty well and a new toy, a key, that offers hours of spirited entertainment. But again, all at Keyhouse is not what it seems, and not all doors are meant to be opened. Soon, horrors old and new, real and imagined, will come ravening after the Lockes and the secrets their family holds.

Named a "modern masterpiece" by The A.V. Club, Locke & Key tells a sprawling tale of magic and family, legacy and grief, good and evil. Acclaimed suspense novelist and New York Times best-selling author Joe Hill (The Fireman, Heart-Shaped Box) has created a gripping story of dark fantasy and wonder—with astounding artwork from Gabriel Rodriguez—that, like the doors of Keyhouse, will transform all who open it. The epic begins here: Welcome to Lovecraft.

"I am grateful to have had a life full of music," is how John Hsu ends this memoir that documents his long, successful career. Born in China, he received his early musical training in Shanghai in the 1940's with Jewish émigrés from Europe. Leaving China in 1949, just as the Communists were taking over the country, he came to the U.S. for college. After receiving his Master's degree from the New England Conservatory (which awarded him an Honorary Doctorate in 1971), he joined the faculty of Cornell University, where he taught for 50 years. While teaching cello as his primary responsibility at Cornell, Hsu learned to play the viola da gamba and had an acclaimed career specializing in the difficult French solo repertoire. He is the editor of the complete instrumental works of Marin Marais, the most prolific composer of the time. In 2001 the French government conferred on Hsu the Chevalier de l'ordre des arts et des letters for his concerts, recordings and edition of French music. An accomplished performer on the viola da gamba, the cello, and the baryton, he became a conductor along the way, leading the Apollo Ensemble (a period instrument orchestra he founded) in Haydn symphonies and the Cornell Symphony Orchestra in works from the 18th to the 20th centuries. After retiring from Cornell in 2005, he guest-conducted the Vivaldi Project Ensemble and became Artistic Director and Conductor of the Atlanta Baroque Orchestra. Told in short chapters, full of anecdotes, copiously illustrated, this memoir will be of interest to anyone curious about the development of the period instrument movement, the viola da gamba, Jews in China during the war, Haydn baryton trios, or the life of an extraordinary musician who captivated audiences for decades with his artistry, expressiveness, and eloquence.
