The Asylum Confessions: Deathbed Confessions of the Criminally Insane

Written by Jack Steen

Narrated by Ben Fortune-Price

They arrive alive. They always leave dead.

But first, they give me their confessions.

Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box and The Haunting are going to enjoy reading 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 one 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 told 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.

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.

Reviews for The Asylum Confessions

[RichardKevinWilson · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So, where do we draw the line between cold blooded and sick murder and or feelings of sorrow for someone. Being a sexual child abuse victim myself, this book made so much sense yet made no sense. The stories behind these sick demented people are so intriguing and horrific, that you just cannot stop listening to them! 'Author' Jack Steen writes in a way that it immediately grabs you then you stop to think: Is the reality, is this man really the person he says he is, or are you just falling prey to another 'Blair Witch Project'? However you think of this, it is a book with characters that I will soon if EVER forget....like the one named Bucket, and The Nanny. There will be some that literally make you afraid of your neighbors, and those that will give you nightmares. Are you ready to hear your first Asylum Confessions? Get ready....this first of 8 books was a quick and horrifying read, and I hate to admit it but I am SO ready to dive into the next audiobook! Here goes.
I highly recommended this twisted and sick book of even sicker people.

5 Screams all the way!

Pretty good for a short one, I liked how it was laid out. The story tellers voice made it eerie, but it was more about human depravity, and brutality making it true horror. The last substory was the weakest, not having the impact the others did, ergo 4 stars. Good listening though.
