The constant whispers from the shadows only stayed whispers for short periods of time.
Sometimes they would come lurking into her dreams. And sometimes the figures in the shadows almost seemed real. 

The nightmares that she had didn't stay in her dreams. She would wake up with bruises, blood, and sweat, sticking to her skin. School only made it worse. It was the last thing she wanted for her friends to get hurt by the things in her head. Sometimes the hallucinations even had a physical touch. Not all of them were dangerous, but a lot of them were warning signs. 

She never took the warnings seriously. That's when the thing became real. The things that lurked in the shadows emerged and showed their faces. It was nothing she had seen before. And it's nothing she wanted to see either.

When she thought she could escape, the things in her head we're never closer to her.

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.
