Matthew William's was a quiet child. He never complained or made a fuss. Even his fathers were worried to the point they though he was depressed, that they had failed him. No one understood him. No one ever will, so he kept quiet. Quiet as a ghost. Quiet to the point of non existence. Quiet until he questioned his own sanity.

That was until he received a gift from his parents. Matthew was history fanatic so it was obvious they would present him with a Russian doll dressed in a Soviet Uniform. On the other hand, to a any sane person, it was ultimately a strange gift. Even his, obnoxious and oblivious, brother was shaken up by the doll. 

It was all normal, well borderline anyway, but this doll was not normal. Matthew noticed. This is his story of having a bi-polar psychotic doll protecting him from the Bozh'ya volya. Life will never be the same again.

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.
