My mother always told me no man should die without leaving his mark in the world. Some build great monuments, others write great books and several even become great presidents. But with great power, comes great responsibility.
People know you for what you’ve done. If you’re good at it, they’ll like you. If you’re not up to the job then everyone will hate you. Sometimes, they even hate you because your work isn’t how they want it. Nevertheless the moment when people hate you the most is when you have the greatest power in the world: the power to take lives 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.
