"What is the body for,
If not to hide red shiny things"

This book tells two stories.

15-year-old Eli navigates a difficult home life after the loss of his mother, protecting his younger brother from bullies and his alcoholic father, while navigating the difficult terrain of his failures at finding love and happiness.

17-year-old Eli, having lost everything in a devastating fire, including a good portion of his skin and sanity, moves in with his only living relative, his estranged uncle named Riley. Starting life anew in the quiet town of Hay River, about as far north as one can get, he befriends an eccentric cat and a clever crow. As time goes on, he starts to suspect things are not as they seem, and with the help of his new friends, they embark on a mission to get to the bottom of it.

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.
