Religion of Evil | |
| Odd Thomas / int_187bddc1 | comment |
Religion of Evil: Basically every book is Odd having to deal with one of these. The first book is Satanists, the second a psycho woman that has traveled all over the world studying occult stuff, the third is a guy that thinks he can create life, the fifth are a group of people who think they're gods, and the sixth are another (even worse) group of Satanists. The first graphic novel has a man who believes he sold his soul to the Devil for immortality, but the second averts this. | |

Hyperspace Is a Scary Place | |
| Odd Thomas / int_204a1207 | comment |
Hyperspace Is a Scary Place: When Odd enters a portal that spawns bodachs, he finds a dark void with a red light in it before being dumped back out several minutes in the past. When he tells Stormy, she says it's the portal to Hell (since the bodachs are dark spirits that usually serve as harbingers of suffering). Odd stews on this, and comes up with a more horrifying theory: The portal actually leads to a distant Bad Future where humans are so downright evil that they go back in time just to view death and destruction. They can't actually manifest fully in our time, so they become the canine-esque bodachs when they travel here. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Odd Thomas / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: Odd has a small wardrobe of simple clothes like jeans, chinos, sneakers and T-shirts. This is partly because he has no interest in fashion and partly because he often finds himself travelling at a moment's notice, a situation where bringing a large amount of luggage wouldn't be practical. | |

Noodle Incident: Odd peppers his narrative with references to previous adventures that he never explains in detail. The first mentioned is him being dumped into the Malo Suerto Lake chained to a pair of dead bodies. He lives. There's also mention of an angry cross-eyed ferret that was able to get him out of another scrape. And the men in porkpie hats who tried to crush him to death with heavy machinery. | |

Psychic Powers: In addition to being able to see the dead, Odd uses what he calls "psychic magnetism" to find people, and he seems to have an almost supernatural ability at card playing, which he attributes to "sensing" when his hand is better or worse than others'. Other people have (inaccurately) attributed to him things like precognition and dream interpretation (but see above). | |

No OSHA Compliance: The people who built the Panamint Resort and Spa cut corners in several ways. For example, they hung a chandelier from a wooden beam when they should have used a steel beam and they didn't put in all of the fire safety equipment that the blueprints called for. When an earthquake hit, the damage to the hotel was much worse than it should have been and several of the guests and staff died. | |

Beethoven Was an Alien Spy | |
| Odd Thomas / int_ec7da60a | comment |
Beethoven Was an Alien Spy: Nikola Tesla invented a way to time travel, though considering the man this doesn't really seem that far out. | |

Would Hit a Girl | |
| Odd Thomas / int_f42f96fa | comment |
Would Hit a Girl: Odd never before did that, but when necessary, he knocks a girl out so she wouldn't alert any of her compatriots. He ends up killing her later when she escapes and threatens to kill Tim. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
| Odd Thomas / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Pretty much Odd's reason for existing after Stormy dies. He wants to join her in "service" in the afterlife and feels he won't be able to if he gives up. Also the reason he becomes The Determinator. | |

Big-Lipped Alligator Moment | |
| Odd Thomas / int_f6e10f3e | comment |
Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: In-Universe example. Odd describes a bizarre encounter with Lyndon Johnson, in which the former President, dressed in the hospital pajamas he died in, got off a bus, looked around, spotted Odd, mooned him, and then got on another bus. | |

I See Them, Too: Verena one of the children Odd is trying to rescue can also see ghosts, which works out plotpoint-wise when he has her follow Boo to safety while he draws off the Senoculus. | |

Alternate Self | |
| Odd Thomas / int_fceae121 | comment |
Alternate Self: Cloyce killed Tim, then went back in time to save him and bring him to the future but it makes a paradox that both things are true; Tim's dead body still exists, and he remembers both getting killed and not getting killed. | |

Evil Is Petty | |
| Odd Thomas / int_fe64d5a1 | comment |
Evil Is Petty: A recurring theme in the series. In almost every book there's a scene of one or more extremely evil characters acting either like petulant children or the dullest bores you ever met. | |

Ephebophile: Odd's dad likes dating 19-year-old girls who look 16. Odd's mother was one such girl. It is implied that this started after Dad got in trouble for soliciting a minor. | |
