Envy stitches together sixteen shocking tales of malice that will have you asking yourself, how far would you go? A piano that feeds on the one who plays it, a forgotten house that holds the secrets of the past, the lips you always wanted, taken from another and bleeding inside your pocket. These are some of the stories in Ill-Gotten Things that shine a light on buried secrets and the fragility of morality. When jealousy has no limits, yearning grows to obsession, and desire outweighs virtue, monsters are born.
