Publisher's summary

They arrive alive and they always leave dead.

But first, they give me their confessions.

Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill, and like to listen to books like The Bird Box or The Haunting and can't get enough stories about serial killers are going to enjoy listening to the deathbed confessions from The Asylum.

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 story, the real one—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. The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing 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 listen.

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, so you can't be too surprised.

Great listen

It’s nice to have a look on the inside of horror that is realistic. The voice actor was great and painted the scene so well. Worth the time 10/10

The curiosity of who the author is.

The book was very short and the stories were not as long as a bedside confession should be. Also what happened with each patient after they told their stories.

Deeply intriguing and disturbing!

Great stories. I cannot wait to hear more. The Angel of Death makes you question right and wrong, black and white.

Dark. Depressing. Disturbing. Do it!

Great book. I couldn’t get to sleep as I was hooked. The narrator did a wonderful job and the boom itself was clever and really grabs your attention. A must read!

Love these

I hope the other books will be able to be made into audio books. This series is an absolute favorite. Totally recommend to anyone with an interest in hearing these characters inner workings of their mind based on their “confessions”.

I enjoy these types of first person stories

The stories were interesting. It’s right up my alley and I look forward to listening to more of this series. The narration was fantastic. Quite a good book. It was recommended to me after listening to the entire tales from the gas station series, which is one of my favorite series of all time. I first found that one on the nosleep subreddit and I love those types of stories. This has a very similar vibe to those stories although it was not at all like tftgs but there’s not many stories out there as good as that one. To compare the two would be unfair so I’ll just say I really enjoyed this and it’s something I never would have sought on my own but I’m glad it was recommended to me. Can’t wait to read book two. :)

The gripping stories.

I love listening to the testimony of each patient. The voice you’re listening to is mesmerizing.
