***Prequel to 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐎𝐎𝐆𝐄𝐘𝐌𝐀𝐍***

My name is John Richard Deacon, I was born on August the 19th 1951, and I am afraid of shadows and darkness. But most of all, I'm afraid of closets. Why you ask. Well growing up I had a rather tough childhood. My older brother who was six at the time died in a horrible drowning incident. I was only two. Years later, I watched my father die of a heart attack one late stormy night. Or so I was told. What had happened was every child's nightmare, a terrifying story come true, and it's something that has haunted me for many years. Nobody believed me. They all said I was making it up for attention, telling me over and again that it was all in my head. Then I joined Queen as their new bassist and the beautiful front man, known as Freddie Mercury took me under his wing with promises to keep me safe. He was the only one who understood my fears. Being with him, I felt safe and protected. However, the things that haunted me didn't go away.

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.
