What consequences await those who confront evil at its most profound? Odd only knows. Odd Interlude.

Brother Odd. The words, spoken in the deep of night by a sleeping child, chill the young man watching over her. For this was a favorite phrase of Stormy Llewellyn, his lost love. In the haunted halls of the isolated monastery where he had sought peace, Odd Thomas is stalking spirits of an infinitely darker nature. Odd Thomas is a positive thinking powerful character, trying to make the best out of a completely over the top situation.
His longing for the simple life, away from large populations in order to make his life bearable is testament to his acceptance of who he is. IN reality he knows that no matter where he goes the spirits and psychic magnetism will always lead him toward an event of dire proportions.
Rest assured he will rise to the occasion. Koontz can get long-winded at times -but -I go with it because he slips in some very relevant societal quips — 4 more to go until the end of the series!! Too bad — with a good director -this could be a great TV Series!!
