about everything from constitutional law and criminal

identity as Clark Kent? Are members of the Legion of Doom
vulnerable to prosecution under RICO? Do the heirs of a
superhero who comes back from the dead get to keep their

While the town prepares for its annual festivities, young
fry cook Odd Thomas can't shake the feeling that
make-believe goblins and ghouls aren't the only things on
the prowl. And he should know, since he can see what others
cannot: the spirits of the restless dead. But even his
frequent visitor, the specter of Elvis Presley, can't seem
to point Odd in the right direction. With the help of his
gun-toting girlfriend, Stormy, Odd is out to uncover the
terrible truth. Is something sinister afoot in the remote
barn guarded by devilish masked men? Has All Hallows Eve
mischief taken a malevolent turn? Or is the pleading ghost
of a trick-or-treater a frightening omen of doom?" --

via SkyRiver): "Christopher Snow is different from all
those who live in Moonlight Bay California, different from
anyone you've ever met. For Christopher Snow was born with
a rare genetic disorder he shares with only one thousand
other Americans, a disorder that leaves him extremely
vulnerable to the light; a light-sensitivity so severe that
he cannot leave his house in daylight, cannot enter a
normally-lit room, and cannot sit at a computer. His life
is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must
embrace the darkness. Only at night that he is truly free.
And on one such night Chris witnesses a murder--a murder
only he can solve. For Chris Snow and all the inhabitants
of Moonlight Bay, terrible change is on its way; a change
of potentially catastrophic proportions. But as one forced
to live in the shadows, Chris Snow knows the night world
better than the dark adversaries that stalk his quiet town.
And along with his exceptional dog Orson, and his friends,
Snow will challenge those who try to take away the only
home he knows. When you live in the darkness of Moonlight
Bay as Christopher Snow does, and you are desperately
trying to save the day, you learn to Fear Nothing!" --
