There's only so much one boy can do - and assisting in forced abductions and dissections should NOT be one of them. Thrown out by his parents at age 6 and put on the black market by abductors, Wesley Sparks was sold to a man who likes to be refered to as "Doctor Stitch" while working.  And his work; the handling and dissections of fine "specimen". Of course, the dissection part is without the specimen's consent. Wesley's part in the whole ordeal? The disposal of the body and the killing of...difficult subjects. And, if necessary, assists with the dissection.
 After nine years, he's far too use to seeing others' blood on his own hands. Years of death has made him into something not entirely human. 
 But, can he escape his adopted father's influence and control, assisting an interesting, telekinetic girl by the name of Kry, or will they both be captured?
 Will Doctor Stitch get to them first, or will Wesley's horrible past and nature cause him to snap, causing him to kill them both?

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.
