"Someday we'll all be buried underground, with worms eating our insides and maggots crawling in our eyes. 
  But I won't. I'll be standing right here, talking to yet another different human being."
  
  Scarlet really hates the idea of not being normal. She just wants to keep her perfectly normal office job, own perfectly normal things and live in a perfectly normal house with a perfectly normal husband and one child. That's why she moves into a little flat in Stockholm. And everything is actually normal. Until she meets Margot.

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.
