    They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
But first, they give me their confessions. 
The theme of these confessions: Original+Bloody+Twisted Fairytales = the perfect bedtime story, right? 
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 3 DeathBed Confessions with a ‘twisted fairytale' theme: 
Patient Kevin – think Modern Day Sleeping Beauty – with a twist 
Patient Jesi – there’s a resemblance to Rapunzel that is kind of scary 
Patient Oliver – he reminds me of Cinderella…with a thing for shoes 
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?

    A sacred volume, a forgotten ritual, and the lingering presence of something not entirely gone—The Uncommon Prayer-book whispers of devotion turned to dread.
M. R. James crafts a world where piety and peril overlap, where quiet study leads not to understanding, but to unease. This tale moves with the hush of cloisters and the rustle of ancient pages, all the while drawing the listener ever closer to an encounter best left unwritten.
Dark, refined, and utterly disquieting.

    Sally Delavega, the best demon-binder the world has ever seen, would do anything to banish the two hundred ghosts trapped in his head—even if it means swimming up from the bottom of his tankard. When the Navy that destroyed his life comes sailing back offering enough coin to get the job done, Sally agrees. All he has to do is help the crew of the Steadfast track down the ancient abyssal that lies sleeping at the heart of their drowned world. Why the Navy wants the demon isn’t Sally’s problem. But as they sail on, Sally begins to dredge up disturbing truths about how the world flooded and their ancient eldritch quarry that might just want to be found… 
Imaginative and poignant, funny and bizarre, Demon Engine brings us a bold, queer high-seas adventure that asks how deep we might venture for what we aren’t willing to lose.
