🎯 Where Should I Start?
ⓘ About Jack Steen
“The Asylum Confessions” by Jack Steen brings you deathbed confessions of inmates/patients of an asylum. Patient 1203 tells the story of a nanny named Emma who was known for killing the families where she got employed as a babysitter. Jack Steen’s novel “Family Matters” is another intriguing collection of patient files as narrated by a nurse who works at the asylum. The nurse made a deal with the patients that they would make a confession of their crimes to him in exchange for a final wish before they die. These are not big favors but just something small such as contacting someone to come sit with them in their last moments or getting them freshly baked pizza.
