The Asylum Confessions: Murder for Hire
The Asylum Confession Files #8

by Jack Steen
They arrive alive. They always leave dead.
But first, they give me their confessions and this time they’re all about ‘murder for hire’.
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 an Asylum for the Criminally Insane, and most of my patients know me as their Angel of Death. I know them as mass murderers, rapists, and serial killers – among other things.
Here’s what happens: they come on my floor, they give me their deathbed confession, and I help to make their death less painful. There’s a catch, though: I want the real story, the one they haven’t told anyone else.
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 KILLERS FOR HIRE:
Patient Ernest is a cold-blooded killer. Period.
Patient Tommy is the killer in the sea you don’t want to meet.
Patient Shannon is a black, red, and green widow.
Patient Jimmy Dale has a thing for hunting the two-legged prey.
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.
REVIEW
5 out of 5
This is easily the best installment in this series yet, by far. I absolutely loved Shannon and JD’s stories. Ernest and Tommy were good too, but Shannon and JD, they just kind of hit you right in the heart. I do appreciate the warning inside the book regarding JD’s confession, as a survivor of SA. I still went ahead and read it, and honestly, I’m glad I did. Honestly, as much as I was anticipating this coming out, I wasn’t expecting to get so emotional while reading. Steen has definitely leveled up his writing, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store next.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
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, their ‘untold’ story that hasn’t been read about in the news, sensationalized by media or cataloged in a ridiculous number of academic papers. I want the real story – the one they haven’t old anyone. 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. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions.
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.
