  They arrive alive. They always leave dead. 
  But first, they give me their confessions. 
  Fans of Stephen King, Joe Hill and like to read books like The Bird Box and The Haunting are going to enjoy reading the deathbed confessions from The Asylum. 
  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 the Asylum for the Criminally Insane.  
  Most of my patients are serial killers and mass murderers and they know me as the Angel of Death. 
  When they come onto my floor, I offer a deal: tell me their story, the one that hasn't been read about in the news, sensationalized by media or cataloged in a ridiculous number of academic papers. I want the real story - the one they haven't told anyone. Some of these killers have never confessed to their crimes, some kept certain information to themselves...those are the stories I want. 
  If they give them to me, I'll make their death...easier. They're already dying, that's why they're now my patients. If they play nice, I can make their death less painful. But only if they play nice and tell me their confessions. 
  The majority of these killers are expert manipulators. I realize they could be playing me and messing with my head. It's a chance I'm willing to take. 
  And now...they might just be playing with yours too. 
  Inside this book are 4 DeathBed Confessions: 
  Patient 1024 has an interesting 'appetite'. 
  Patient 974 is the Ken to his Barbie, and he would do anything to keep her happy. 
  Patient 871 is a Nanny, but not one you want watching your kids. 
  Patient 1203 is the sweetest, broken soul you'll ever meet but her confession is a hard read.

  A Long Way Back - Alone Above A...

  The world ended not in a single flash, but in exhaustion. Cities lie in radioactive ruin, knowledge is scattered like ash, and a small fortified settlement clings to survival with one desperate plan: revive an eighteen-year-old satellite designed to beam solar power back to Earth. Only one man can reach it. 
  Thomas H. Morris is not an engineer. He is a historian. Chosen because he is expendable, conditioned through hypnosis to perform work he does not consciously understand, and launched alone into orbit, Tom must assemble five drifting satellite modules before his oxygen runs out and before the cold of space seeps through his failing ship. Below him waits a community that sees the satellite as salvation. Tom sees something more complicated. As he labors through freezing darkness, he begins to understand that the true struggle is not against space, but against fear—the fear of reopening the shattered cities and the knowledge buried inside them. 
  A Long Way Back is not simply a story about survival in orbit. It is a tense, intimate confrontation between one man and the future he is being asked to secure. With time slipping away and a final adjustment left to make, Tom must decide whether he will follow orders—or force humanity onto a harder, riskier path toward rebuilding itself. 
  Ben Bova would go on to become one of science fiction’s most influential editors and novelists. As editor of Analog Science Fiction and Fact from 1972 to 1978, he helped shape a generation of writers and ideas in hard science fiction. He later won six Hugo Awards for Best Professional Editor and wrote more than 120 books, including the long-running Grand Tour series such as Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. His fiction often grapples with humanity’s relationship to technology and the moral choices that accompany progress.

  In "I'll Visit You As A Butterfly," one man's battle for life becomes a battle for death.  
  What good is money when it can't buy health?  
  When there's nothing left of love but memories, what do we live for? 
  How much suffering can we force ourselves to withstand to avoid letting go? 
  A wealthy old man in his cliffside home seeks answers to the universe, his past, and his lack of future in this thought-provoking, awe-inspiring short story. A bright mind in a dying disease-ridden body, he must make a choice:  
  Will he live for two years and suffer a harrowing, painful death at the whim of a terminal illness? Or will he turn to technology to alleviate his suffering? 
  On his laptop is the following message:  
  YOU WILL BE ASKED TWO QUESTIONS. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY ANSWERING "YES" EACH TIME, YOU WILL DIE? 
  Will he have the courage to find his own version of peace?  
  And if courage fails him, will technology prevail?  
  Dark and insightful, yet somehow hopeful, "I'll Visit You As A Butterfly" will make you question what you think you know about life, loss, and stolen futures.
