"House of Odd" - это третья графическая новелла о персонаже Дина Кунца, популярном городском поваре по имени Одд Томасе, который может видеть мертвых. Лучший друг Одда, писатель Оззи Бун, просит его навестить свою старую знакомую - продюсера Голливуда Недру Нолан, которая только что купила разрушенный особняк в Пико-Мундо и надеется сделать его своим укрытием на пенсии. Однако таинственные явления - открывающиеся сами по себе окна, замерзающие комнаты и разбивающиеся люстры - пугают каждого рабочего, которого она нанимает. Одд и его подруга Сторми думают, что могут выяснить, что может преследовать огромный старый дом. Но даже способность Одда видеть оставшихся мертвых не может подготовить его к ужасу, который он обнаруживает в запутанном подвале...
The third graphic novel in Dean Koontz's series featuring Odd Thomas, the small town cook with the ability to talk to the dead, "House of Odd" is an eerie story about the prejudice and fear people exhibit when confronted with different views and lifestyles. Standing as the new narrator in this series is Odd's friend Ozzie, a famous author, who asks Odd to place a visit to Nedra—a producer in Hollywood—who recently purchased a large mansion that she intended to retire in and start over. The couple seemed like decent folks who were completely oblivious to holistic problems they inherited upon purchasing the decrepit old house, giving them an easy excuse to shoo off their hired workers. After odd's arrival, strange things begin lurking, reclaimed belongedings disappearing, and unknown voices screaming at Odd and Stormy, his person of choice. In the midst of this mounting terror, these two realize the true danger they had kept all too close to the truth of the property. Dean Koontzs' House of Odd highly boasts about the concept of changing minds towards any one who is outside of the ordinary in today's society from outward appearances often creating discouraging obstacles. It brings insight to how unappreciative and intolerant people tend to become particularly once it endangers their preexisting belief systems.
