What this book is about
A three-part novella set between Odd Apocalypse and Deeply Odd. Odd Thomas stops at Harmony Corner, a California highway rest stop, and quickly realizes that the entire community — the diner, the motel, the families — is under the influence of something he has no category for. The entity controlling them is unlike anything he has faced, and the people it controls cannot ask him for help. A compact, eerie interlude in the Odd Thomas series.
