They are stories and poems that would never have been written without the \u003cem\u003eDeck of Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e: the grim yet playful centrepiece of the Negocios Infernales roleplaying game. But the Deck has a second vocation — to inspire artists, via its ghoulish wisdom and bloody sense of humour, to create.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe designers of Negocios Infernales, award-winning writers C.S.E. Cooney and Carlos Hernandez, have created new works based upon the \u003cem\u003eDeck of Destiny\u003c\/em\u003e, with all its fanged philosophies and macabre musings on display. Every story and poem of \u003cem\u003eInfernal Bargains\u003c\/em\u003e began by pulling one or more cards from the Deck and resulted in the satirical, sordid, sombre, spirited, and very, very sanguine works you will find herein. Taken together, they compose the haunted menagerie that populates these two writers' deepest unconscious fears and desires — and, perhaps, your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47470863712492,"sku":"9781954255937","price":32.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781954255937-infernal-bargains.jpg?v=1775229260"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/carlos-hernandez.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
