These spiritual creatures that Odd can see are named Bodachs, a term he learnt when he met another boy with similar talents. Odd has the power to see yet he can not communicate with them. First and foremost among these powers in the power to see dead people. There is one thing that makes Odd Thomas, well a little odd he has supernatural abilities. This all seems rather normal, he has a girlfriend and several close friends.
He is a twenty year old man who lives in the California desert and works as a short order cook. Odd first appeared in the novel of the same name. His account of two shattering days when past and present, fate and destiny converge is the stuff of our worst nightmares-and a testament by which to live: sanely if not safely, with courage, humor, and a full heart that even in the darkness must persevere.Odd Thomas is the name of a fictional character created by Dean Koontz. As evil coils under the searing desert sun, Odd travels through the shifting prisms of his world, struggling to avert a looming cataclysm with the aid of his soul mate and an unlikely community of allies that includes the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. In less than twenty-four hours, Pico Mundo will awaken to a day of catastrophe. His most ominous clue is a page ripped from a day-by-day calendar for August 15. Who the man is and what he wants, not even Odd’s deceased informants can tell him.
A mysterious man comes to town with a voracious appetite, a filing cabinet stuffed with information on the world’s worst killers, and a pack of hyena-like shades following him wherever he goes. Sometimes they want justice, and Odd’s otherworldly tips to Pico Mundo’s sympathetic police chief, Wyatt Porter, can solve a crime. Maybe he has a gift, maybe it’s a curse, Odd has never been sure, but he tries to do his best by the silent souls who seek him out. Odd Thomas thinks of himself as an ordinary guy, if possessed of a certain measure of talent at the Pico Mundo Grill and rapturously in love with the most beautiful girl in the world, Stormy Llewellyn. I don’t know why.” But they do try to communicate, with a short-order cook in a small desert town serving as their reluctant confidant.
