horror story.

Hi, I'm luke. I've been alone for along time now and not the type of alone your imagining as if I have no friends or anything like that. The world population vanished. before winter break of 2020(after our first dreadful covid lockdown) I had a pretty good life, a nice group of friends and everything seemed okay. I don't really know what happened to be honest but I'm the last alive and I don't even know what to do. It's now mid 2021 and I'm noticing strange presences and I've seen figures... not humanoid figures though. they look deformed. My mission is to figure out... what happened? and why me?

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.
