Looking back on my dead body wasn't one of the things I planned on doing this summer but I didn't expect to have the best time of my life crammed into eight weeks either.

"C'mon it's only a twenty minute walk ."I looked down at the winding road , it was dangerous many accidents had happened here , only a few months ago someone was attacked here , but after all it was just a rumour.I turned my torch on and nodded my head .One of the main reasons people don't come up here is because of the isolation of the place , the nearest house is a mile or so away .The road was trimmed with daunting dark trees that seemed to taunt me every time the wind blew , but I knew I could not back out now. The wind blew violently and seemed to harass me with every step I made , but even I knew it was too late as a pair of blinding lights pulled up in front of us with two figures sliding out , my fate was sealed I was not leaving this road tonight, not alive anyway.

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.
