Started this excited thinking it was a real nurse with real deathbed confessions. If that were the case, the level of writing would be excusable. But it is clearly not true, just poorly written fiction

I wasn't 100% sure what I was getting into with this one, but I love asylum based stories so I was cautiously optimistic.
First off, I listened to the audio of this one and the narrator was very good for Jack I think this collection would've benefitted immensely from having a full cast. With how widely varied the characters were I just needed a narrator with more range or more narrators in general.
I don't love books that are essentially a collection of slightly connected short stories. So I was disappointed that this was what this book was- I wanted a more developed over arching plot, however this book is severely lacking there. All of the stories end the same way with Jack saying something about a bar and figuring out where he works and drinks and to come meet him sometime which made this collection feel like a collection of creepy pastas or a web serial? Not a fan.
I will say that the individual patients stories were interesting and unique with clear and distinct voices- so that was fun. I found them easy to get sucked into and hard to put down.
Overall I enjoyed the stories I was entertained and curious about what was to come, however I'm not sure if I'll continue with this series.

A collection of short stories with all the gorey detail straight from the mouths of the killers in an insane asylum.the story was really lly kind of weak underneath all the Ubiquitous gore.
