Upon the murder of his little sister, Craig Tucker swears to himself that he'll get her back if it's the last thing he does. Finding the key to a house in the woods, he locates what murdered her. It would be good news, but he never expected it to have been something not entirely human. Humanoid, maybe, but being a spirit that makes deals with desperate humans isn't human.
To add onto that, Craig is a desperate human.
Making deals with spirits is never a good idea, because it doesn't always mean that you're just trading your life for another.
It can mean that you're throwing yourself into a pit of horrors that you never would have willingly went into, not if you were thinking straight.

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.
