The Hellhound by Darius McCorkindale Prologue Beneath the velvet canopy of the night, a solitary car traversed the peaceful country road, its progress etching a faint trail of light through the otherwise impenetrable darkness.

The world around it was cocooned in a profound stillness, punctuated only by the distant whisper of the nocturnal wind.

The desolate great southern highway seemed to stretch onward without end, its vanishing point obscured by obsidian shadows that danced on the periphery of perceptions.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I know you're always a big fan of the Hellhounds.

Dude, it's a great camera trick.

It's a great bit, yeah.

I understand.

Fender? So I am going to throw a chromatic orb at the two hellhounds.

And I'm going to choose cold for my damage type.

Is that a saving throw or an attack spell? Um...

So

you have a main action.

So you can fire both, well, I wouldn't fire both hellhounds, but...

Yeah, probably not.

So, are you guys going to Cool Beans first, then? Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

Meeting the Hellhound, interesting, okay.

Shouldn't we

be unanimous? May, are you coming along? Yeah.

The order is...

Fidget? Weird Kings.

Hellhound? Fishnetser.

You guys want this order?

Now, to solve Henry's murder and to save the Iron Horse ward, Jack must descend the abyssal steps through the various strata.

But he is pursued there by the wraith Hellhound, which seems intent on killing as many musicians as it possibly can.

As we've already identified, music is at the heart of this novel.

For Jack, it is a way of dealing with his anxiety.

And that comes from years of, um, talking with people about not just Dogman, but definitely Dogman and the experiences they've had with them.

Uh, and then not even just the Dogman, but the Hellhound.

Um, Hellhounds come up, Dogman comes up, um, werewolves come up.

You can even throw loosely Skinwalkers in that category when it comes to the canine side of it, right? And at least for the history of my show.

And, um, you, you start hearing these things and, and you're like, "Man, I don't think that thing just wandered in from the forest." And then I have my own experiences of, you know, running around the woods with crazy people like Joel Thomas and, uh, and you know, I, I, I don't know if I've ever thought about, um, the hitchhiker effect as much as I've thought about it looking back on what happened after we shot Expedition Dogman in the Daniel Boone.

Well, we should ask Jill what she thinks.

Jill, do you want to come on and tell us what you think about Hellhounds? We'd love to.

I know what she thinks because she's on Team Skeptic.

Well, hey, now listen.

Like, this was a summon, dude.

He, he didn't transform into the, into the Hellhound.

Yeah, yeah.

Yeah.

That would be the miracle, is that spell breaks early.

'Cause otherwise you got two more rounds of being stunned.

With, with a Hellhound right next to me.

Yeah, exactly.
