8. Locke and Key

For: Your Friend Who Worships Stephen King Like He’s the Lord

Joe Hill is an excellent novelist in his own right (Horns is my personal favorite among his books), and his comic book work is deeply good. As well, Gabriel Rodríguez's art is terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

In the story, a tragedy befalls the Locke family, leaving them to move back to their inherited Massachusetts home. But mysterious, creepy things start happening in the manor, which is dubbed the Keyhouse.

Nightmares befall everyone, ghosts from the past turn up, and the ancient evil hidden deep in the well is about to awaken. It's a wonderful comic, and you really do need to check it out on your own before your friend comes a'calling.

But if she hits you up looking for some spooky comics to enthrall her, this is your best pick. Not your only, but your best.
