My name is Jack Steen. That name shouldn’t mean anything to you, unless you’re about to die—and then I’m your bloody guardian angel. I work as a night nurse in the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.
I offer my patients a in exchange for an easy death, I want their story. Not the one anyone can read about in the papers, I want the real story—the one they haven't told anyone else. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. My name is the only real name you’ll find in this book. I won’t tell you which Asylum I work at. I won’t tell you the names of those dying. But I won’t lie to you. You’ll read exactly what I’m told.
If you’re smart, if you’re deranged enough to read between the lines, you’ll know who is telling the story.
The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. They could be playing their final game with me by messing with my head.
Now, maybe they're messing with yours too.
Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions that relate to family
Patient 424 is a father trying to protect his little girl. Patient 1001 is a pig farmer who never should have had children. Patient 523 wants you to believe he's the brother of a mob boss. Patient 983 would argue she should receive the Mother of the Year award.
book was wild. this is the second confessions book I've read/listened to. I'm hooked, I get completely sucked in. I've read/listened to them both in two days. I've been in a reading funk so it felt good to get that sucked into a book.
My morbid psychology major mind love these freaking books. I always have to listen to a less mind bending novel in between but can’t wait to get to the next one!
I am definitely in love with this series. As a parent, I completely understand Patient 424's point of view and where he came from, I wouldn't have done anything differently. Patient 523 had the biggest plot twist at the end, my jaw was on the floor and I had to reread the page to make sure I read it correctly.
Thank you, Jack Steen, for sharing these c0nfessions with us!
