📝 Description: Ill-Gotten Things
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. Matt Bliss explores the breaking point of ideals, and the depths to which one will sink for their own gains in a daring collection of narratives.

Bliss delivers sixteen sharp, unsettling vignettes that prioritize atmosphere over expansive plot, targeting readers who enjoy concise bursts of dread. This is not for those seeking complex world-building or slow-burn character arcs; it demands an appetite for abrupt, visceral shocks. The tone is consistently bleak, suitable for connoisseurs of gothic horror who appreciate moral ambiguity. However, readers preferring optimistic resolutions or lighthearted supernatural tales will likely find the relentless focus on obsession and loss alienating. It stands firmly in the dark fantasy tradition, rewarding those who enjoy being unsettled by the human capacity for greed.
