So many children go missing in my town every year, but no one seems to talk about it. I see everything from my bedroom window and I need to tell someone, but why would anyone listen to a boy who can't even leave his room? Why would anyone believe him when he says he sees everything through the cracks in the boards covering his window? I was just a forgotten soul. A forgotten soul that knew everything, but could say nothing.
Growing up, I tried everything to get someone to believe me. Being locked in my room for weeks on end made that practically impossible. Now that I have a voice, I can try again. I will tell someone who is doing these horrible things. Even if it means putting myself in danger, I will tell someone about the ice cream man.
Sometimes it's just not that easy, and I'm about to find out things that I could never imagine.

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.
