Four confessions from the death ward

Set on a night nurse’s ward at an asylum for the criminally insane, the book frames four “DeathBed Confessions” around a bargain: patients tell the nurse stories they have kept back, and he promises to make their deaths easier. The patients’ accounts range across four distinct cases, while the nurse acknowledges that these practiced manipulators may be trying to unsettle him—and the reader. That confessional setup links the episodes through questions of withheld truth, manipulation, and the stories people choose to tell. The description warns of swearing and potentially triggering material.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adult readers interested in horror built around criminal confessions and an asylum setting.
  • Readers who enjoy collections of connected stories, with four patient accounts framed by a shared narrator.
  • Readers comfortable with warnings about swearing and potentially triggering content.

Book overview

They arrive alive. They leave dead.

But first, they give me their confessions.

 

My name is Jack Steen, and for those who arrive on my 'death' ward at the Asylum, I'm the last face many will see before they die. I am the night nurse at the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.

Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers, and they know me as the Angel of Death.

 

When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their real story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, and 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.

 

The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing with me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take.

 

And now...they might just be playing with yours too.

 

Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions:

Patient 1024 has an interesting 'appetite'.

Patient 974 is the Ken to his Barbie, and he would do anything to keep her happy.

Patient 871 is a Nanny, but not one you want watching your kids.

Patient 1203 is the sweetest, broken soul you'll ever meet but her confession is a hard read.

 

WARNING: There is swearing in this book. And some stories might be a trigger for something you have a hard time handling.

 

But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers and such.
