He bought it, in the shape of the dead man's suit, delivered in a heart-shaped box, because he wanted it: because his fans ate up that kind of story.

The bones don't make the dogs bark; the movie doesn't make Jude feel as if he's being watched. And none of the artefacts bring a vengeful old ghost with black scribbles over his eyes out of the shadows to chase Jude out of his home and make him run for his life...

Jen nejmladší syn Bóďa si rychle najde novou kamarádku žijící v prázdné studni a zábavu při hledání klíčů. Ale nic není takové, jak se zdá, a některé dveře by měly zůstat navždy zavřené. Nakladatelská anotace.

Rod Zámkových po celé generace kráčí temnými chodbami Klíčova, kde odemyká dveře vedoucí k nejrůznějším divům a kouzlům. Tato kniha obsahuje pět mistrovsky zpracovaných povídek, v nichž se scenárista Joe Hill spolu s výtvarníkem Gabrielem Rodriguezem vydávají do dob dávno minulých. Zlatý věk obsahuje tři úvodní krátké povídky: Malý svět, Do nitra Luny a také vůbec poprvé publikovanou minipovídku Síla hudby, které pomalu, ale neodbytně směřují k drásajícímu finále, rozehranému v povídce „...jak vojska bledých čet...“ a vrcholícímu v crossoveru se Sandmanem, v příběhu Co peklo schvátí..., v němž se objeví také Lucifer a mnohé další postavy ze slavného Gaimanova komiksu. Každý z příběhů představuje úryvek ze života předků rodiny Zámkových z počátku dvacátého století, kteří, stejně jako jejich potomci, sváděli pomocí kouzelných klíčů velké i malé bitvy. Ať už však bojovali na frontě první světové války či v hlubinách samotného pekla, vždy se snažili především ochránit svou rodinu i svět.
