About “Brother Odd”
Odd Thomas, a young man haunted by the memory of his lost love, Stormy Llewellyn, finds himself in the isolated St. Bartholomew's Abbey in California's Sierra Nevada. He has come to the monastery seeking peace and a fresh start, living among monks, nuns, and students. Though the spirits that once haunted him are mostly absent, strange occurrences begin to unfold. One December night, the sinister bodachs—dark entities that foretell death—return, threatening the abbey's most vulnerable residents. Odd must confront an enemy more powerful than any he has faced before, navigating a journey filled with mystery and suspense. The novel, part of Koontz's series featuring Odd Thomas, explores themes of fear, courage, and the struggle between light and darkness.
Praise for “Brother Odd”
“Supernatural thrills with a side of laughs.”
“Thrilling . . . heart-stopping . . . Terrific characterization and patient plotting mark Koontz’s work, and this novel about the triumph of modesty over hubris proves exemplary on both counts. A work both exciting and engaging—and with its heart in the right place.”
“Poignant but quick-moving . . . Koontz deftly mixes [in] humor . . . as he tackles the big questions: Can humans prove that God exists? And why is Elvis scared to go to Heaven?”
