Original Horror Story.
"A glimpse into the world proves that horror is nothing other than reality." Alfred Hitchcock

A young girl during the fascist times of Portugal. In a dreary household with an abusive older brother and house servant, an ailing Grandmother and a distant, but emotionally stunted father, she starts to question many things and dives straight into a nightmarish journey with an eccentric but gruesome entity as her companion.

Author's Note: Each chapter title pertains to a hidden detail that ties in with the story as the reader progresses. It will never be obvious, as there is no fun in that. so it is up to the reader to puzzle it out. All these hidden details will make sense as the story goes on, should the reader locate them. Happy Hunting!

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.
