{"title":"Dean R. Koontz","description":"","products":[{"product_id":"irmao-odd-vol-3","title":"Odd Brother (Vol. 3)","description":"With the Odd series, Dean Koontz achieved New York Times bestselling status and created a hero who lives up to his name. Odd Thomas is truly bizarre. And one of the most beloved literary characters today. In his early 20s, he earned his living as a cook in a small, fictional Californian town, but his true skill is far less prosaic. Although quite spicy: Odd feels, sees, and speaks to the dead. And he has a direct line to bodachs—dark entities that feed on pain, accompany murderers, and whose presence prophesies imminent violence. Koontz, with his usual talent for sharp dialogue and twists, weaves a new plot of intrigue and suspense for Odd. In Brother Odd, the former cook seeks refuge and a fresh start in a completely different world. And ends up encountering an old enemy, as old and inexorable as time. Filled with terrifying descriptions and a certain narrative haunting, the third book in the series introduces our hero to his new home: St. Bartholomew's Abbey. A shelter for abandoned children and all those seeking sanctuary. Odd arrives at the monastery in search of a new path. Amidst the eccentric monks, their strange guests, nuns, and young students from the neighboring convent, he finally believes he has found peace. The strange spirits that haunted him in his previous life are miraculously absent, with the exception of his usual companion, the grumpy ghost of Elvis Presley. But trouble has a curious ability to find Odd. And it arrives in the dead of night. And in a familiar voice. A voice he believed he would never hear again. \"Confess to me.\" The words terrify Odd. For that was the favorite phrase of Stormy L.Lewellyn, his beloved. But Stormy is lost to this world, dead. And within the haunted walls of the abbey, Odd Thomas has far more ominous spectral concerns. The bodachs have returned. Brother Odd blends humor and horror in perfect doses.","brand":"Totvsrj-record-dc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47159232758012,"sku":"9788501085863","price":69.9,"currency_code":"BRL","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/9197\/5420\/files\/b94e47b054e45c080f79cc668d4b81cd.jpg?v=1778325163"},{"product_id":"o-bom-sujeito","title":"The good guy","description":"Plots brimming with intrigue and suspense, told with literary flair and linguistic juggling.

An even greater ability: Odd can talk to the dead. A secret known only to his girlfriend, an eccentric writer, and the local police chief.

This is the case with bodachs—dark entities that feed on pain, accompany murderers, and whose presence prophesies imminent violence. When a stranger, nicknamed Fungus Man, arrives at the restaurant with a retinue of bodachs, Odd is intrigued enough to follow him. And break into his home. At Fungus Man's hideout, Odd discovers hundreds of bodachs and a strange altar containing information about history's worst psychopaths. Who is this stranger really?
