I wrote this for the Blumhouse competition :)


The idea behind the story: A woman visits her father with her young daughter. Since being diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, he has been living out in the forest. Once a week a nurse will visit him, but otherwise he is completely secluded, and cut off from the world. His daughter, and granddaughter notice the changes in him, as he begins to lose himself more and more. One night while staying in their rooms, three twisted monsters show up and attack them. After looking further into these demons, the man's daughter finds out that the woods are blessed by the will of fairies, and wishes, dreams, and memories can take physical manifestation. She comes to the realization that the monsters are a physical manifestation of his warped memories of their last moments together as a family, and reconciles with him. The story would end on a good note, if I were to write the whole thing out.

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.
