When Mara inherits her uncle's ridge cabin, seven rules are all that stand between her and the thing that wears her face. Mara never believed in mountain rules. Not until she unlocks her uncle's cabin and finds them: 1. Don't look out the windows after dark. 2. Burn your trash before sundown. 3. Don't follow the lights in the trees. 4. It wears your face. Don't speak to it. 5. If you hear knocking-ignore it. 6. Never invite anything in. 7. If you forget the rules... it reminds you. In the Appalachians, stories are warnings-and this place was built on both. The Shelf is an Appalachian folk-horror about memory, isolation, and the price of breaking rules that kept you alive. Read it with the lights on. And if something knocks-don't answer.
