Do you ever get those instinctive rushes of adrenaline that make the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Or, for some reason, it wasn't the other sounds in the house, but this specific creak that made you curl up in your blanket at night? Yeah, yeah, it's just our wild imaginations, right? Think about it. Those monsters you think you saw or felt in your room at night as a child might just be a sign. What if, as we grow, we lose our ability to sense these undeniable creatures? What if those scary stories are true? Maybe, just maybe, as we lose the purity our minds held as young children, we lose our ability to sense things that shouldn't be part of this world, but are, indeed, present in places as secure as our homes. Our minds, now, are trained to recognize the real cruelties of the world, the stresses of everyday life, and, so, these things that leave just the slightest noticeable trace, are no longer real, per say, to us. But just suppose now, as you read off a phone screen in the dark, secure in your room, in your bed, that those stories and events are real....
               Well, if you are ready to face the scary truths we have deemed as fictional events, brace yourself for these bedtime stories..........

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.
