You remember those days of your youth, basking in the sunshine of the midday sun, eating watermelon and letting the juice trickle down your chin. Then laying on your back gazing into the sky with squinted lids. Drifting off hazily into a daydream,or is it?
You remember those nights you couldn't quite get to sleep, tossing to and fro under the covers to try to find that one magical position so you can take the express to dreamland. Only once you arrive, everything is not as it should be. Your in cold sweats dreaming of things that only come out after dark. Yet these things have teeth and bite. Vampires? No, Creepy Crawly things, maybe, a nightmare or a hallucinaton, well you'll have to decide for yourself,
Finally I would ask you to consider are the Daydreams and Nightmares separate, or are they now intertwined? Come along and find out, IF you dare,

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.
