Something evil has come to the desert town that Odd and Stormy call home. It comes in the form of a mysterious man with a macabre appetite, a filing cabinet full of information on the worlds worst killers, and strange, hyena-like shadows following him wherever he goes. Odd is worried. He knows things, sees things about the living, the dead and the soon to be dead. Things that he has to act on. Now hes terrified for Stormy, himself and Pico Mundo. Because he knows that on Wednesday August 15, a savage, blood-soaked whirlwind of violence and murder will devastate the town.
