In a small town out west, Odd Thomas works as a short-order cook at the Pico Mundo Grill. But he also communicates with ghosts, and has a particular talent for scoping out bad spirits called bodachs. When he finds a clutch of them hanging around with a stranger who has come to town, Odd starts to worry--and before long, he finds evidence that the stranger may be a serial killer. The question is, who's next? And can Odd stop the new wave of violence before it starts?

I really enjoyed this one. The story is more supernatural than pure horror and in that way, it reminds me of Koontz's early writing especially Lightning which was one of my favorites. Odd Thomas gave me everything a thriller should. It held my interest the whole way, dropping little plot twists and surprises like bread crumbs. My heart raced. I shed a tear in my coffee.

he used to be a good author but now his books are in such an annoying tone. i couldnt read this book, which is about a guy who sees ghosts. no more dean koontz books for me.
