This is a paperback that Janny loaned me.
The story of 'Todd Thomas' (Odd Thomas) who was a young fry cook from a small California desert town who has the ability to see the dead and to know when disaster is going to strike. Brother Odd is able to see dark & sinister entities that he calls 'bodachs'. These beings signal that 'something evil' is about to occur.
The story of BROTHER ODD is set within a monastery located in the High Sierra Mountains of California and this book is the third in a series about this character.
The 'hook' is that a very rich scientist had renounced the world and entered the monastery, yet he continued his work. He developed a 'door' between our reality and this new 'evil' psychic area of consciousness.
I think this novel would work much better as a graphic novel. It's so visual and the story is rudimentary and a good artist could have made this novel really pop.
All Dean Koontz novels are worth a look, but all are not equal.
