Rachel Stevens has never been one to have any sort of relationship out of those in books. Without a mother and having a worry struck father, her teen life came more difficult than others. At school she was only known as a charity case for some, but not for Ash Voxler. Ash had been obsessed with all of the gory secrets of this small, underpopulated town and of course had to create some kind of relationship with Rachel. 
Ash's unhealthy infatuation for discovering dark, uncovered secrets proved to be useful when the first clue to the killing of Rachel's mother appeared on her front door step. It seemed to be nothing at first but once the box was flipped, the imprint of an old company shook her to her core.
Imagination Island. 
Rachel had heard Ash blabbering about an old abandoned amusement park that lived somewhere in the middle of the Bryerton woods. 
Will Rachel ever discover what really happened to her mother?
Will Rachel choose revenge over forgiveness?
With the help of Ash, Rachel must search through the woods, find the amusement park, and rid the town of the awful horror that lies within its walls.

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.
