    They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
     But first, they give me their confessions. 
    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 confessions that relate to marriage and murder (and how they go hand in hand):THE PREACHER has quite the past.BETH shouldn’t be trusted.WILSON is a farmer with buried secrets.SAM has a thing for soil and gardens. 
    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, so what do you expect?

    I'm surrounded by dragons, and they're all afraid of me.At the age of nine, I mistakenly touched someone else, giving him excruciating pain. Through that awful experience, I found out that a graze of my fingertips could torment any being with dragon blood. Because I was surrounded by them in my kingdom, my ability labelled me as cursed. And with that, my family lost everything.I promised myself to never be shunned away again. That I had to be someone important for people to look up to. A crucial vote was coming up, and I would do anything to win it. Then I met them. Four hidrae princes, dragon-shifters of the most powerful kind, who were immune to my abilities. Being able to touch someone else was intoxicating.

Gaius should just fall on his face and die.Contains mature themes.
