Odd Thomas is always torn between two realities.
He can see the lingering dead and knows that even in the chaos, there is order, purpose, and strange meaning that invites our understanding - but often thwarts it.
Odd Thomas finds himself at the charming coastal village of Magic Beach, California, thanks to his intuition. As he waits to learn why he has been drawn here, he finds work as cook and assistant to a once-famous film actor who, at eighty, has become an eccentric with as long a list of fears as he has stories about Hollywood's golden days.
Uncertain yet unsettling nightmares of a crimson flood are haunting Odd. During the day, he feels as if the town's terror has been let loose by the breaking waves. However, nothing can prepare him for the harsh reality of what he will learn when he confronts a kind of evil that will put him to the test like never before.
