odd interlude a special odd thomas adventure

While working as a short order cook in a California desert town, Odd meets a suspicious-looking man in the diner followed by bodachs, shadowy spirit creatures who appear only during times of death and disaster. Koontz discloses how Odd was named and begins, layer by layer, to show how Odd's dysfunctional upbringing has shaped his life, and as those details are uncovered, his supernatural abilities begin to make more sense. In the beginning of the book, Odd Thomas is silently approached by the ghost of a young girl brutally raped and murdered, and through his unique ability to understand the dead, is psychically led to her killer, a former schoolmate named Harlo Landerson. In the postscript to the graphic novel, Koontz states that 'God willing, there will be six Odd Thomas novels.' A Special Odd Thomas Adventure (short novel), Odd Interlude, was released on December 26, 2012, and another Odd Thomas: You Are Destined to Be Together Forever on December 9, 2014. Three graphic-novel prequels, In Odd We Trust, Odd Is On Our Side and House of Odd have also been released. The final novel in the series Saint Odd (2015) was released on Jan 13, 2015. Following the success of the novel, six sequels, Forever Odd (2005), Brother Odd (2006), Odd Hours (2008), Odd Apocalypse (2012), and Deeply Odd (2013), were also written by Koontz. The book, which was well received and lauded by critics, went on to become a New York Times Bestseller.

The novel derives its title from the protagonist, a twenty-year-old short-order cook named Odd Thomas. Odd Thomas is a thriller novel by American writer Dean Koontz, published in 2003.
