Only Jack Knows: Origins and Death

Jack Steen

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.

Accompanying him is the man responsible for brokering the deal with the university, Damon Sarantos. Unknown to anyone, Damon himself had buried the casket almost two thousand years before. 
Reign is a woman Damon can't ignore and desperately wants to win. Her vibrant light soothes the darkness inside him, even as it pulls her away and warns her not to love him. As she decodes the mysterious writing on the outside of the casket, Damon must work to gain her trust and win her heart. 
Can he be the man she wants him to be? Or will they be eternally separated by his partly demonic nature? The casket holds the answer, and opening it will either bring peace or unleash a darkness that threatens to engulf the entire world.
