Odd Hours, Koontz’s fourth book about this, well, odd character, has more than one million copies in print.  Koontz said in an interview that this unusual protagonist came to him “as a gift, the entire first chapter of his first book having poured out of me as I was in the middle of writing “The Face.”  And though he originally conceived of the series as open-ended, he now believes the seventh book will be the conclusion.
