"The Keep" is a limited series written by American author F. Paul Wilson and drawn by Matthew Dow Smith, published by IDW Publishing

It is based on F. Paul Wilson's novel "The Keep". In the foreword to this work F. Paul Wilson answers the question of exactly why he scripted a graphic novel version: "Because I consider this visual presentation of "THE KEEP" my version of the movie, what could have been...what should have been."

ynopsis

The keep had stood empty in the Transylvanian Alps for some 500 years. No one knew who built it, or why. But on the eve of WW II, German soldiers moved in and awoke something—something hungry… something more merciless than the SS einsatzkommandos accompanying them. Author F. Paul Wilson, the creator behind The Adversary Cycle series and Repairman Jack series, adapts his own New York Times bestselling novel. He is joined by artist Matthew Dow Smith (Hellboy) on the retelling of the story that the Providence Journal called, “A battle between good and evil that staggers the imagination, with an ending as exciting as any horror fan could wish!”

As is made clear in a conversation between a fortune teller and Magda Cuza on page 29 of this graphic novel the dilemma facing certain characters in this story is not only that of choosing between good and evil but of more fundamentally recognizing "which is which".
