Odd Is on Our Side

Dean Koontz returns with a second graphic novel adventure featuring his popular protagonist Odd Thomas. This installment is set during Halloween in Pico Mundo, California, where the autumn air carries a sense of impending danger. Odd, a young fry cook who sees the spirits of the restless dead, senses that make-believe monsters are not the only threats on the loose. His frequent visitor, Elvis Presley, fails to provide clear guidance, leaving Odd to rely on his own instincts and the support of his gun-toting girlfriend, Stormy. The narrative investigates a remote barn guarded by devilish masked men and questions whether All Hallows Eve mischief has turned malevolent. A pleading ghost of a trick-or-treater serves as a frightening omen, prompting Odd and Stormy to uncover a terrible truth. This work blends the supernatural with small-town mystery, drawing on traditions of Halloween folklore and mediumship. It suits readers who enjoy illustrated fiction that mixes humor with horror elements. Those seeking traditional prose novels may find this format less appealing than standard text-based narratives.
