Insanity. What is it?

Someone once said insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. But I don't care. I do the same thing over and over again, but I expect the same results. The same words that come out of a person's mouth, the same desperate look in their eyes, the same way they cower before me. Stories are told about what I do. Some say I torture poor, innocent souls; others say I kill people purely for my own enjoyment. They are completely right. I love the thrill of pushing my knife against people's throats and seeing the life slowly leaving their eyes.

I never expected any different. Until him.

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.
