Joe Hill’s Locke & Key: One-Shots collects three standalone issues tied to the Locke & Key universe. The Guide To Known Keys (2011) came first, followed by Grindhouse in 2012. After a seven-year gap, Locke & Key: Dog Days arrived in 2019 as the third and most recent entry.

These one-shots are supplementary to the main Locke & Key graphic novel series. Each issue stands on its own, though readers who have already read the core Locke & Key volumes will have more context for the characters and settings.
