“If you had a big dream in life, what would it be?”

“I guess maybe…having my own ice-cream store.”

“Is that as big as you can go, son?”

“My best girl at my side and an ice-cream shop we could work in together all our lives.”

Odd Thomas by Dean Koontz

Odd Thomas is a series written by Dean Koontz. This series really meant a lot to me, as a good friend (basically my godfather, even though he was technically my sister’s godfather and not mine) had sent me his copy of the first book, Odd Thomas, and said I would love it. This was around the time he was diagnosed with cancer. The day I learned he died, I went to the book and right there in the bargain priced shelf was a single copy of the final book, Saint Odd, signed by the author. Naturally I bought it.

The series is made of 7 novels and 2 novellas. They follow the story of a strange young man named Odd Thomas, who has a bizarre gift. He can see and feel the dead. To him the dead feel as solid and warm as a living person. He also has very strong intuition, knowing when something or someone isn’t right. He uses this for good, helping the local chief in his hometown solve murders. And throughout the whole series, all Odd wants is to be a fry cook or a tire salesman and marry his girlfriend. But the world seems to want to get in the way.

I love this series. I don’t want to spoil it too much for anyone, but it’s one of those series that just flows beautifully. And Dean Koontz makes it so realistic compared to other books. Even as he faces cults and Satanists, serial killers and terrorists, he struggles and stumbles and most things that happen are all very possible events. Odd is witty, sarcastic, and has a somewhat dark sense of human. He can find the good in any situation.

I highly suggest this series. There are no cons to it that I can find. I look forward to reading more of Dean Koontz work soon!!

ODD HOURS: a webcomic

“If you’re looking for a guestbook, we don’t have one.”

22-year-old Ada Greene may be human, but the regulars who stay at her secluded motel in the hills of Pennsylvania are anything but. The Highwater Motel caters only to fae--those beings that exist in the fog and mist, in the deepest parts of the forest and the darkest parts of the water. When a human boy called Beckett stumbles into the motel, he sets off a chain of events that will see Ada fighting to find a lost sister, save a close friend, and keep control over the place she calls home.
