  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: 
  You ever meet someone who seemed… normal? 
  Yeah, Madison was that guy. 
  Tall, polite, a little nerdy—but there was something off behind his eyes. 
  I didn’t see it at first. None of us did. 
  Until he snapped. 
  In this episode, I take you inside an unsettling confession about love, loss, and what a man will do when grief turns to rage. 
  This one doesn’t come with a trigger warning. 
  Because by the time you realize what he did… it’s already too late.

  There is something about the number 3.    
  The Ancient Greeks believed 3 was the perfect number, and in China 3 has always been a lucky number, and they know a thing or two.   
  Most religions also have 3 this and 3 that and, of course, in these more modern times, three’s a crowd may be too many, except when it’s a ménage à trois.  It seems good things usually come in threes. 
  Whatever history and culture says WE think 3, a hat-trick of stories, is a great number to explore themes and literary avenues that classic authors were so adept at creating.

  “Gish’s prose is as sharp as a scalpel.” — Publishers Weekly, starred review
  		 
  “Grey Dog is a bewitching tale of the horrors of spinsterhood in the early 1900s, with madness and magic threaded through every sentence.” — Heather O’Neill, author of When We Lost Our Heads and Lullabies for Little Criminals
  		 
  A subversive literary horror novel that disrupts the tropes of women’s historical fiction with delusions, wild beasts, and the uncontainable power of female rage
  		 
  The year is 1901, and Ada Byrd — spinster, schoolmarm, amateur naturalist — accepts a teaching post in isolated Lowry Bridge, grateful for the chance to re-establish herself where no one knows her secrets. She develops friendships with her neighbors, explores the woods with her students, and begins to see a future in this tiny farming community. Her past — riddled with grief and shame — has never seemed so far away.
  		 
  But then, Ada begins to witness strange and grisly phenomena: a swarm of dying crickets, a self-mutilating rabbit, a malformed faun. She soon believes that something old and beastly — which she calls Grey Dog — is behind these visceral offerings, which both beckon and repel her. As her confusion deepens, her grip on what is real, what is delusion, and what is traumatic memory loosens, and Ada takes on the wildness of the woods, behaving erratically and pushing her newfound friends away. In the end, she is left with one question: What is the real horror? The Grey Dog, the uncontainable power of female rage, or Ada herself?

  The spirits aren't talking, but they are making Imogene's life a misery. When the police suspect the mortuary's head embalmer of stealing the corpse to sell on the black market, she and El realize it's up to them to find the missing body. 
   
   
   
  Their search leads to a berserker Viking cult, obnoxious frat boys, and a pirate bar, among other dangers. But Imogene and El are determined to reunite the deceased couple, or die trying. 
   
   
   
  If you can imagine Agatha Raisin as a twenty-something, rockabilly ex-hairdresser with a weird connection to the dead, this book is for you.
