You get to add one piece of literature as a chapter to dbd

First some rules:

The piece of literature you choose cannot be adapted into something else such as a movie or tv show (IT, many of Lovecraft's works, the watchers)

and vice versa, you cannot pick a book that was based on an already existing IP (Fnaf, slenderman). It can only exist in literature format.

With those two rules in mind, what are you adding? I'm adding The Twisted Ones. In this book, the titular creatures are pretty much living effigies made from different parts of animals and other naturally occurring materials, which would also allow for a lot of skin potential.

    Literature published online counts, right?

    I'm picking the Parahumans series, specifically its first novel Worm.

    My pick for the killer is Taylor Hebert, AKA Skitter, Weaver, and Khepri. I'd be pulling largely from the climax of the book for her appearance (so Khepri over Skitter or Weaver), and her power would involve utilising swarms of insects as tracking and harassment tools. She'd make a great killer, especially in terms of aesthetic and animations. Plus, I'm pretty sure she'd be the first instance of the killer being the protagonist of their source material...

    There's not really a good pick for survivor. Maybe Lisa, AKA Tattletale? Most of the important characters have superpowers that would break the suspension of disbelief, imo. Some skins for established characters based on their costumes could easily work though.

    I mean sure. I don't really read anything online though, so I definitely won't know what it is.

    I don't really think there is a whole lot to go on, most of the good stuff from literature is adapted in some way or form.

    Although if i had to pick one, i'd go with this one below, while it is a ghostface related story, it is still an original one created by the mask IP holder himself.

    Could work as a Survivor only chapter.

    I'm wondering if the dbd ghost face's real name is based on that

    The eponymous Skullmoon by Tim Curran. A primeval beast formerly worshiped as a deity resurrected to enact revenge. Vicious and intelligent, fits right along side demo dogo.

    Since the words on the bag count as literature I'm adding almonds to dbd

    survivors can have a snack while working on the gens, as a treat

    no water though

    That sound fun. With dredge, singularity, and now unknown I desire more monstrous killers.
