  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?
