Publisher's Summary

This exclusive audiobook short story looks back - way back - to where it all began for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, two souls who are destined to be together forever.

Amid the dizzying rides, tantalizing games of chance, and fanciful attractions of a state fair, two teenage sweethearts on the cusp of life and love's pleasures find their way to a shadowy carnival tent brimming with curiosities. There, from the bizarre and enthralling Gypsy Mummy, a mechanized merchant of dreams and prognosticator of tomorrows, the young couple learns what fate promises for them. But fate, for Odd Thomas and Stormy Llewellyn, is something altogether different: full of dark corners, sharp edges, and things no seer or soothsayer could ever anticipate.

And for Odd Thomas, a gallant fry cook from a sleepy California desert town, the future beckons - to listen to unquiet spirits, pursue unsettling mysteries, and learn shocking truths...for a purpose far greater than himself.

More Odd & Stormy Please!

I completely love Odd, I have read, and own every story Dean Koontz has published in this series. Odd is endearing, his paranormal experiences are intriguing and I really enjoyed this short story of the beginning of His Love Affair with Stormy.

Not Original book, only short stories

I was originally looking to order the actual book in its entirety, but this was 6 chapters of shorts only. Still interesting, but not long enough for a road trip.

Not long enough.

I would have liked a longer story about Thomas and the ghosts. Very interesting start but this would be a great book by a master storyteller like Dean Koontz.
