With her literature degree freshly in hand, Dove crafted spine-tingling horror stories. When stumbled upon a tattered old notebook in her attic, she used it to jot down her book ideas. Little did she know that whatever she wrote in it would come true. 
When she writes something disturbing, she can't just type 'all is well' and be done with it; she has to grapple with her own solutions and ultimately end it.
In her new house, she feels her mouth water as she hears the chime of the Ice Cream truck, and that sparks a creative writing idea in her mind.
She did not know that the words she wrote in the mysterious old notebook would haunt her with their vividness and terror. 
She must figure out the significance of the notebook, its original owner, and how to put a stop to it. Besides that, she now has a spooky ice cream truck to fend off, and her parents that she needs to secure.
If you have the courage, come explore this world and uncover its secrets.

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.
