Summer Slashers
(2026)(Book 11 in the Asylum Confessions series)
A collection of stories by Jack Steen
They arrive alive. They always leave dead.
But first, they give me their confessions.
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 4 Deathbed Confessions:

Inside this book are 4 Deathbed Confessions:
- One patient spent nineteen summers at the same lake. He knows exactly what the water does with what goes into it.
One patient was everyone's favourite camp counsellor for twenty-two years. The children loved him. Some of them didn't survive it.
One patient worked the shooting gallery every summer on the travelling fair circuit. The targets he chose weren't always on the range.
One patient managed the guest experience at a luxury Gulf Coast resort for sixteen years. Twelve guests never checked out.
WARNING: There is swearing in this book. These are dark, graphic confessions — gore, violence, and disturbing content throughout. Some stories may be a trigger for things you have a hard time handling. But these are the confessions of serial killers and mass murderers.
That's what summer is.
