Bounds Best Newcomer Award-2007, among his growing collection of critical accolades. This collection of Locke & Key, in development as a major motion picture by Dimension Films, features an introduction by Robert Crais, author of the best-selling Elvis Cole novels.

It is true, a certain amount of biting happens, but a nip on the neck may just be a vampire's way of saying, "Hello, let's be friends." This story features spooky (but fun!) vampires, and culminates on Halloween night, with tongue-twisting names and playful illustrations throughout.
