"The master of our darkest dreams." THE TIMES "Psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying." THE NEW YORK TIMES Odd Thomas takes pride in his work as a fry cook. His fame has spread, bringing strangers to the restaurant in Pico Mundo.

He craves extreme violence: multiple untimely deaths, spiced with horror. Odd's fears are first for Stormy Llewellyn, his one true love. Stormy believes that our passage through this world is intended to toughen us for the next life - that the terrors we know here are an inoculation against worse in the world to come. But Odd Thomas knows more than Stormy about this world. He sees the restless dead, those with unfinished business and, sometimes, plenty of postmortem rage...
