I hear the screams of his victims, they gasp for last bit of air, and hope vanishes as they understand that they are about to die. I hear the grunts as he struggles to move their bodies to the cold metal table. Imagine hearing an innocent person scream for help and you can't do anything because you're married to the ruthless monster they're trying to get away from. Imagine wanting to help but, you know that your husband will kill you if you try. You wouldn't want your blood to splatter across a concrete floor and neither do I.

We all remember the monsters our parents warned us about, the ones that were under the bed and in the closet. Being terrified to look under the bed or in the closet because of a big scary monster. Well, I married that monster, that everyone was so afraid of. I didn't know he was a monster until it was too late. He didn't look like one on the outside, but the ruthless creature that lived inside came out after saying "I do."

I'll never be able to escape him or his presence. He's always watching and when he's not he has this sick talent of knowing. My marriage was supposed to a holy matrimony but it turned out to be unholy.

Some people say to pray about it, but how can you pray when you have married the spawn of Satan himself? Being scared to look the supposed love of your life in the eyes? Afraid to sleep in your bed or to even go to sleep? 

I hear voices of the innocent. The noise of them screaming as he cuts into their bodies hurts me. I have the repulsive smell of decaying flesh coming from my basement. Having to clean blood from my own husband's clothes. 

If you ever wondered if there was a hell, the answer is yes and I leave there.

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.
