Ever wanted to go to a camp specifically made for finding love? Qori never has.
Qori is a horror and romance enthusiast, but then he gets sent to a cheesy camp all about finding love and meeting the one true love.
Qori starts to cause trouble with his sarcasm and sharp retorts, until he starts poking around in things he shouldn't be. Turns out, Camp True Love, is not a innocent or all about love as the Director of Camp True Love claims.
When a love serum that the Government is trying to produce goes wrong, its up to a gay horror enthusiast, a lesbian cop, a camp councilor, a war veteran who always happens to have a glass of wine, an ace girl, and an emo who has bad poetry issues to save the world from the Love serum apocalypse.
Warning: Extremely cliche, seriously gruesome, adult content, smutt and sex may be included, disgusting creatures included, also EXTREMELY cliche and working off of old tropes.
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.
