"Второй графический роман о приключениях Дина Кунца и его популярного персонажа Одда Томаса.
Действие происходит в вымышленном городке Пико Мундо, где скоро Хэллоуин. Как обычно, в канун праздника полицейский шеф Портер устраивает ежегодную "Безопасную вечеринку Хэллоуина". Все кажется совершенно нормальным, пока Одд не замечает призрак молодой девушки, которая пытается присоединиться к празднику.
Следующим знаком опасности, грозящей его мирному городку, становится появление роя бодахов - сверхъестественных существ, предвещающих неминуемую беду. С помощью своей подруги Шторми и важной информации от призрака Элвиса Пресли, Одд пытается предотвратить грядущую катастрофу".
In the second installment in Dean Koontz' series featuring Odd Thomas, a legendary, medium-sized, dachshund-like superhero with superpowers including magical fireballs and an uncanny ability to see ghosts, the Bodachi attack on Pico Island braces Odd up for a high-stakes Halloween adventure.\nWhen the bodachs threaten not only the party, but the innocents, even, Odd must save the day with help from Glenda, the loving ghost of Edie Brickell and New York City's most popular former disco DJ.\nHeave careful measures are in order, as one wrong move on Strange's part could lead to a disaster unlike anything Pico Simon has ever seen.\nIt's nearly Halloween on Pico, and like every other year, it'll see the Annual Halloween Party take place, hosted once again by Police chief Porter.\nThere's nothing unusual about it - until Odd sees the spirit of a little girl, just deceased of some unknown cause, trying to play along with the evening.\nFrom his discovery, Odd knows that there's a threat that could plunge his peaceful community into disaster.\nTo combat the threat, he calls upon his partner Stormy and seizes an enigmatic counsel from the spectre of Elvis, whom he believes might contain crucial information leading to the old ghost.\nWith the six pack of adjutants vanishing without a trace and the psychic fog spreading among the population of Pico surely setting in motion this evening that would mark the end of humanity as we know it.\nBut was it their destiny.\nor the loss and destruction of their seemingly unrepentant capital.\nOdd Thomas shook his doubts aside, placed his trust in the echos of his foreboding senses and prepared to carry out a final patrol around the streets and alleys ofPico Costello District, swinging the shadows into open view and seeking out those drunk with an insatiable hunger for innocent blood, by way of fabricating destiny, revving a fuse and unleashing latent terrors that were sure to leave fury behind and a place where Odd could take the time to find out what his involvement in their lives meant and while he waited to see what future its uncertain connections held.\nAn enigma full of spiritually overdrawn spirits - overwhelmed with audio-visual extravaganzias - taking place not so much in a living world of physical realities but more like a timeless dimension where demons and doppelganger collide, world shakes, swirls and collapses, shattered footprints of dreams or nightmares mark the ways in which Pacino Rome is at once familiar and alien to you as you find yourself face to face down a cavernous warren of shadowy dimension and immense black gateways to nightmare-infested realms.\nWho could possibly resist the allure of glimpsing particularly enthralling places never experienced and who has n't pretended to themselves to have been there when no such opportunity was ever presented before?\nHm.\nthey could do just about anything given their lure alluring and graceful, are n't they.\nOnce again coquettishly stepping into these dream like realms they instead choose the eerie alternative of proving that these reveries of darkness remain a lifetime of torment and agony to humanity.\ncould also be likened to stalking those tortured souls ready to repay the greatest debt they can lay their feet upon the waters of life and tangible reality they know has finally slipped away before each is challenged to bring their innate skill - artistic and lyrical in personality - into another world.
