  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But before they go, they tell me everything. 
  My name’s Jack Steen, night nurse in an asylum for the criminally insane—where the walls hum with secrets and the dying don’t go quietly. My job isn’t to save them. It’s to listen. 
  Every night, I take their last words—their confessions—and carry them like ghosts stitched beneath my skin. Some call me a monster for it. Some call me their last friend. 
  Me? I just call it a shift that never ends. 
  Inside these walls, you’ll hear four of the confessions that still keep me awake: 
  Origins and Death – how it all started, and the inmate whose dying wish dragged me into the dark. 
  The Dying Kind – a man who believed love was the truest weapon. 
  A Killer Recipe – a baker who mixed poison, guilt, and devotion into every batch. 
  The Angel Maker – a nurse who gave mercy to those who never asked for it… until her own sins came calling. 
  I record these stories so you can hear them—so you’ll understand what kind of world breathes after midnight. 
  Because in here, it’s not the screams that haunt me. 
  It’s the ones who whisper. 
  Only Jack Knows: Origins to Angels — Notes from the Night Nurse. True confessions. True monsters. And one man who listens to them all.

They constantly defile crypts and often keep souvenirs of their nocturnal expeditions. Since they reside in the same house, they have the opportunity to set up a sort of morbid museum in their basement. Using the objects collected from the various graves they have robbed, the two men organize a private exhibition. The collection consists of headstones, preserved bodies, skulls, and several heads in different phases of decomposition. It also includes statues, frightful paintings, and a locked portfolio bound in tanned human skin.One day, the two learn of a particular grave, which sparks a profound interest in them: an old grave in a Holland cemetery which holds a legendary tomb raider within, one who is said to have stolen, many years ago, a "potent thing from a mighty sepulchre." They travel to the old cemetery where the man was buried...

  Small-town Louisiana, 1935. When Eugene was twelve, a girl from town disappeared. Everyone said the gators must have got her when she strayed too near the bayou. No foul play, just a terrible accident. But Eugene can't shake the conviction that Mary Beth's death had something to do with the man who used to haunt her—the man no one else could see. 
   
  Now, nearly two decades later, there are more dangerous things than gators in Chanlarivyè. People are disappearing again, and this time, no one can find the bodies. As the town's unease grows, charismatic fugitive Johnny Walker arrives on the scene, shedding bullet casings and stolen bank notes in his wake. 
   
  He tangles himself up in Eugene's life and awakens memories Eugene thought he had laid to rest years ago. Memories of the mysterious man who followed Eugene into his dreams, and memories of the bayou—and of the horrifying entity that lurks beneath the water's surface, slowly seeping into the town like a stain.
