A post-human starship captain navigates the void between worlds. An actress specializes in macabre performances that blur reality and theater. A post-singularity revolutionary fights against systems that have evolved beyond human comprehension. An exiled shapeshifter wanders between forms and identities. These characters emerge from the Deck of Destiny, the dark heart of the Negocios Infernales roleplaying game. Award-winning authors C. S. E. Cooney and Carlos Hernandez pulled cards from this deck to generate each tale and poem in this collection. The results span satirical observations, sordid encounters, somber reflections, and spirited adventures. Blood and philosophy mix in equal measure as the writers explore the deepest corners of consciousness through their creations.
