The Read siblings may have lived in Elwood City their whole lives, but when a body turns up in the woods near their home, the town no longer feels safe.
Overwhelmed by the success of his first graphic novel, Arthur struggles to navigate the world as an unexpected celebrity. Known for her ambitious spirit and stellar grades in college, DW can't help but feel like a failure after dropping out of graduate school and moving back home with her tail between her legs-her new career as a traffic cop may keep her busy, but it doesn't erase the shame. Kate has always been the baby of the family, and, now in her twenties, she's desperate to leave Elwood City Community College and finish her studies on the opposite side of the country.
None of them planned to get tangled up in the mystery that has the entire town on edge-but if they don't try to solve the murder, one of them may take the fall.

"Unexpected" // Jeff The Killer X Reader
⚠️WARNINT PLEASE GOD READ THIS!⚠️ I WROTE THIS WHEN K WAS 12 PLEASE FORGIVE ME. I made her a Mary sue, the writing sucks and I was cringey... but I mean it's 40 chapters long so I figured why waste 2 years of my life for it to just sit there. The description I wrote when I was 12 ahead >> With the violent voice in her head, she was nowhere near normal. It would only take one small crack for everybody to see that.Complete
