Answer: 'Forever Odd' & 'Brother Odd'

'Forever Odd' was published in 2005 and 'Brother Odd' was published in 2006 in the UK. Koontz wrote these two sequels due to the extremely high rating from critics towards his first book.

4. What is the name of the fictional town that this series is set in?

Answer: See the spirits of the dead

Throughout the series, he is visited by various different dead icons. As I said earlier, he is visited in the book 'Odd Apocalypse' by Alfred Hitchcock.

6. Whose ghost was Odd Thomas' friend throughout until the end of 'Brother Odd'?

Elvis Presley was the companion of Odd Thomas throughout the whole of 'Odd Thomas' and all the way through up until the end of 'Brother Odd' where he left, only to be replaced by another icon.

7. Who replaces the icon that leaves at the end of 'Brother Odd'?

Answer: Speculative fiction, thriller and mystery

Answer: "Little Ozzie"

"Little Ozzie" is the name given to an extremely obese and successful mystery writer who does, in fact, have six fingers on his left hand. His name has an element of irony, as he is not "little" at all.
