Hi, I'm Rosie Evans and I was 17 years old when I died in a car accident. When I was still alive, I was a non-believer of the afterlife, neither heaven nor hell. I didn't even think about it that much. I was living my life the fun but wrong way which most people do. I was a Christian but being religious wasn't my way of living. 

I feared death and didn't know that it could happen to me at a very young age. I feared having to hold my last breath and reach the end of my existence. That's what I believed... but I was wrong. Dead wrong.

 I woke up in a place where weird looking people live. They look so horrendous and so dead. I'm not so sure if this is heaven or hell for I don't see no God or Devil, a golden palace or fire. I see people... Candles... Mirrors... What are we doing here and where are we?

The Hound

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.
