  Ernst Theodor Wilhelm Hoffman was born on the 24th January 1776, the youngest of three children, in Königsberg, then in Prussia but now part of the Kaliningrad Russian enclave. 
   
  His parents separated when he was two and for many years life was to be provincial and, despite his talents for the creative arts and the classics, much was passing him by. 
   
  At 20 Hoffman obtained employment as a clerk and to the art that now surrounded him.  Two years later he was in Berlin attempting a career as a composer with an operetta called ‘Die Maske’.  His gift for drawing caricatures and sharing them often got him into trouble that was easier to avoid. 
   
  The years of Napoleon ravaging Europe were bad for Hoffman; he moved often and took on works as varied as theatre management and music critic.  In this his talents were now more evident.  His works on Beethoven where highly regarded by the master himself. 
   
  His literary breakthrough came in 1809, with ‘Ritter Gluck’, about a man who believes he has met the composer 20 years after his death.  However the various jobs and the wars continued and plagued any career advancement despite his constant travel for opportunities, often through dangerous territories. 
   
  In the wake of Napoleon’s defeat in 1814, Hoffmann returned to Berlin where his opera ‘Undine’ was performed by the Berlin Theatre.  Life was now more settled and many of his most famous works were written at his time. 
   
  From 1819, Hoffmann was struggling with both legal disputes and ill health.  Alcohol abuse and syphilis were physically weakening him and from 1822 paralysis set in.  His last works were dictated to his wife or to a secretary as all around him society descended into an anti-liberal agenda, stifling dissent with threats of legal action and even treason.  The ailing Hoffman was among them. 
   
  E T A Hoffmann died on the 25th June 1822 in Berlin of syphilis.  He was 46.

  Everyone has a final secret. I collect them.  
   My patients aren’t on my ward just to die - they’re here to confess.  
  Before the body bag, there’s a final reckoning. Murderers. Serial Killers. Monsters in human skin. They tell me their truths because I don’t flinch - and because I’ve made a deal with death.  
  These are the confessions no one gets to hear.  
  These are the behind-the-scenes confessions that don’t make it into the Asylum Confession books, the ones I hear but wasn’t sure I’d share.  
  Well, now I am.  
  And you get to hear them. 
  One confession at a time. 
  Welcome to Only Jack Knows. 
  What to expect: 
  They say curiosity killed the cat—but in my case, it just gave me a job. 
  In Origins and Death, you’ll find out how I ended up in the deepest, darkest ward of an asylum the world forgot existed. I’ll introduce you to Newman—the man who changed everything for me. A paralyzed rapist with a mouth full of lies and one dying wish: to be remembered. 
  He was the first to confess. 
   He wouldn’t be the last. 
  This is a guided descent into the minds of the damned. And I’m the one holding the flashlight. 
  Come closer. You’ll want to hear this. 
   Because once the dead start talking… 
   You can’t unlisten.
