I always believed that love was only meant to shatter you. Make you believe the impossible until the impossible is all you know. And then when the impossible is real, when you've forgotten who you are, forgotten everything that makes you you, only when the world is different and when you are different and things are shining the way you never knew they could-that's when love rips you open from the inside out.   I always thought I could live without it.          Love, my father once said, is the great destroyer of worlds.   But that's all wrong.

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.
