The Asylum Confessions: Killer Teens

The Asylum Confession Files #9

by Jack Steen

They arrive alive. They always leave dead.
But first, they give me their confessions and this time they’re all about ‘teenage killers’.

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 KILLER TEENS:

Patient Adrianna is a lost girl with mommy issues.
Patient Michael had an issue with his brother.
Patient Badger lived in a house full of dead people.
Patient Cindy knows how to throw a killer tea party.

WARNING: There is swearing in this book. But, these are the confessions of serial killers, mass murderers and such, so do you expect anything different?

REVIEW

5 out of 5

I’ve fallen in love with this series, but this might be the most chilling installment yet. Partly because they’re all teenagers, but there have been young killers in previous books. I think the biggest thing is the abuse/neglect that eventually led to them snapping, or full on developing mental illness. If I had to pick a favorite, it’d be Cindy. The cross between fairy-tale and insanity was absolutely brilliant. (No spoilers, even though I’d love to go into why she’s my favorite!) I was impressed with how well Badger’s accent was conveyed without sounding like a caricature (so good job, Jack). All that said, while you don’t have to read the books in order, or even all of them, if you like true crime, you’ll likely enjoy this fictional crime series!

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.
