The original story here is much darker (there are also some fairly gory parts in the book), has less obnoxious 'teen drama', and is a suspenseful exciting tale. made a lot of changes) with the source material, mostly in a bad way unfortunately. The tv series has already taken extensive liberties (i.e. As for the story, itself, it's very good. The imagery is very detailed and really makes use of the large pages which are about the size of regular notebook/printer paper (bigger than I'm used to for comics). All six volumes of Locke & Key are contained within along with a few little extras (diaries of known keys and some alternate covers, these may have been with other collections of Locke & Key, too, not sure) at the end. This version of it just came out a month ago, and its a very impressive collection. I had a good time with the show and while waiting for a second season, I wanted to check out the source material. I was previously unaware of the Locke & Key series until I watched the tv version on Netflix.

It is secrets like the sights and events Adel experiences underground that von Däniken refers to throughout this book. “The story of Egypt,” Adel says, “has two sides-the official one and the unknown one.” Adel experienced uncanny events, a mixture of spirit realm and reality, which is described here for the first time. Based on his conversations with Adel H., he retells the boy’s search for a way out of the underground world, how the boy roamed passageways and chambers and saw what he calls “impossible” things of which the professional world is completely unaware. In this book, Erich von Däniken shares the story of his friend Adel H., an Egyptologist, who, as a 16-year-old boy, was trapped for days under the Step Pyramid of Saqqara. Bestselling author Erich von Däniken shares the story of a 16-year-old grave-diver who discovered a mysterious labyrinth of the old kings under one of the pyramids of Saqqara. Pleased to have landed the job at a prestigious law firm, Dannie easily loses her worries in litigation. Ever pragmatic, Dannie consults her therapist, who almost concurs that it was likely a dream, and throws herself into her work. Unfortunately, glamorous Bella is in Europe with her latest lover. Her best friend, Bella, would delight in the story given that she thinks Dannie is much too straight-laced, and some spicy dreaming might push Dannie to find someone more passionate than David. Serle ( The Dinner List, 2018) deftly spins these magical threads into Dannie’s perfectly structured life, leaving not only Dannie, but also the reader wondering whether Dannie time traveled or hallucinated. After all, highly ambitious Dannie and her boyfriend, David, have plotted out their lives in minute detail, and the sexy man in her dream-was it a dream?-is most certainly not in the script. Just one hour in that alternate reality shakes Dannie to her core. That is, until she awakens to find herself five years in the future with a completely different man. After acing a job interview and accepting a marriage proposal, Dannie Kohan has had the perfect day.
