Description
In Never Break the Rules – Volume I, L.M. Carrow presents a haunting collection of supernatural stories where every warning, superstition, and whispered prohibition carries a cost. Across lonely towns, fog-choked lakes, cursed objects, and forgotten hallways, characters learn - too late - that the boundaries they break are the only things holding reality together. A ferry operator tests the one rule her entire town lives by and discovers what waits in the fog after dusk. A clockmaker’s apprentice pushes a brass regulator past midnight and finds time itself demanding payment. A photographer snaps a single forbidden picture of a lighthouse beam and unleashes the drowned faces within. A beekeeper, a librarian, a diver, a blacksmith, a nurse, even a child with folded paper cranes - each one faces a rule carved in wood, whispered by elders, or taped to a wall… and the horrifying truth behind it. Some rules protect you. Some rules protect everyone else. And some rules - once broken - don’t let you walk away unchanged. Atmospheric, unsettling, and woven with dread, Never Break the Rules – Volume I explores the thin boundary between the ordinary and the uncanny. Each story stands alone but echoes the same chilling theme: The world is full of doors we’re not meant to open. This book shows what steps through when we do. Perfect for fans of: – Shirley Jackson – Carmen Maria Machado – Adam Nevill – Black Mirror – Folk-horror and liminal supernatural fiction Turn the page - but remember: every rule has consequences.
