This tale is the weird, but heart-warming story of a young boy from a small Kansas town and his best friend, Hugo, who happens to be a colossal Lovecraftian monster that lives up in the sky high above.

I wrote this story on something of a strange whim. It just sort of came to me out of the blue and once it was in my head I felt motivated to continue writing it until the end. It's kind of an oddball parody of children's fiction blended with Lovecraftian horror; sort of a throwback to some of the strange fantasy we used to see from horror anthology series like "Goosebumps" and "Tales From The Crypt".

65 parts Complete

Antique store owner Liz brings home a Victorian taxidermy hound from auction, unwittingly unleashing dark forces on her wife and son. ***** Nat Loman has finally married the love of her life, Liz, and is getting used to her role as stepmother to Liz's 5-year-old son, Liam. The Loman family runs a bustling antique business so they attend a sale where a striking, black taxidermied hound is up for auction. Liz picks it up for the business, but it ends up being stored in their home, where Nat notices strange things occurring. She quickly discovers the past residents had died violently. Then she hears from a friend about the myth of "the devil's dog", a hound that perches in the shadows, tearing families apart from the inside. Soon, people around the Lomans are dying, and Liz is changing, darkening. It's up to Nat to save the woman she loves from the darkness closing in, and to save Liam from danger no matter what she has to sacrifice.
