''Personal Effects'' is a supernatural thriller series by [[J.C. Hutchins]]. At the most basic level it's the first hand account of Art Therapist Zach Taylor as he struggles to help his patients, make sense of the strange happenings around him, and cope with his own mental instability.
 
However, the series is unusual in that it gives the reader a series of clues to follow in order to learn the full story - calling the phone numbers in the story lead to real voice mails, and all websites mentioned really exist. The first printed book of the series even comes with several [[Feelies|'"personal effects'"]], like handwritten notes, business cards, and photos.
 
Overall the story holds together even if the reader doesn't choose to investigate further, though it's limited to what Zach Taylor personally knows.

* [[Feelies]]: Provided with the first book.
* [[Geeky Turn On]] ("Geeky Goddess" Rachael)
* [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]] (Both heavily subverted and played straight. In the stories themselves detail is conserved by limiting the viewpoint to Zach's firsthand account. Exploring the clues behind the story causes the number of details to explode. Rachael's [https://web.archive.org/web/20111129194027/http://www.pixelvixen707.com/ PixelVixen707 blog] particularly ignores this trope.)
* [[Le Parkour]] (Zach's brother Lucas. Zach too but to a lesser extent.)
* [[Missing Mom]]
