Could there really be such a thing as hell on earth? Odd only knows.
Transforming a ramshackle mansion into a dream house has become a nightmare for onetime Hollywood producer Nedra Nolan, whose newly purchased fixer-upper in Pico Mundo has sent a string of spooked contractors scurrying off the job, claiming the place is haunted. Who’s she gonna call? Her friend recommends Odd Thomas, the mild-mannered young man with a gift for communing with ghosts who won’t rest in peace. With his soul mate and sidekick, Stormy Llewellyn, in tow, Odd agrees to investigate the eerie incidents. But his spirit-seeking style is cramped by the obnoxious TV ghost hunters Nedra hires to flush out the troublesome phantoms with elaborate gadgets.
As night falls and a raging storm traps them all in the mazelike manse, Odd tries in vain to scare up some lost souls. But instead, something more terrifying than any apparition—something with flesh, blood, and teeth—makes its sinister presence known. And with nowhere to hide, Odd and his fellow hunters suddenly become the prey.

Description
The third graphic novel adventure featuring Dean Koontz’s hugely popular character, Odd Thomas – the small-town fry-cook who can see the dead. Odd Thomas’s bestselling author friend, Ozzie Boone, asks Odd to pay a call on an old friend: Hollywood producer Nedra Nolan, who has just bought a dilapidated mansion in Pico Mundo and hopes to make it her retirement hideaway.
However, mysterious occurrences – windows opening of their own accord, rooms going cold, and chandeliers crashing to the floor – have frightened away every workman she hires. Odd and his girlfriend Stormy think they can determine what might be haunting the huge old house. But not even Odd’s ability to see the lingering dead can prepare him for the horror he discovers in the rambling cellar…
