My name is Tom. I'm a monstrum; a physical manifestation of human hatred; war, disease, poverty, etc. I kill people. More than I can count. more than I've wanted to. So have the others. We set up a home in the woods a few decades ago. It's too quiet. Every decade, we adopt a new member to our ranks. If they survive. It is time for those trials to begin again. And I'm starting to feel a bit off. I've been killing more. Acting more aggressive. And I believe, the Silence is making me do it.  And I don't know if I can fight back.

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.
