A series of rather unpleasant events has forced the Gate family to move from their apartment complex to a newly acquired compound in the country side. It sits a few miles from the nearest city ,and its appearance is more than enough to scare away anyone who might stumble onto it.  However the family within is much worse than their appearance could ever show. The family consisting of Shizuo, Kane, Opal, Iris, Falen, Faith, and Mizu, is very much unlike any other family. If they are to survive without drawing attention they will need to learn to put their psychotic and gruesome habits behind them.

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.
