Dead Man’s Deal is a ghostlit tribute to the cardrooms of the haunted West, where phantom gamblers and skeletal bluffers sit frozen in the last hand they played. Part of the Nickel Souls series, this volume transforms the Buffalo Nickel into a dusty poker table, where each coin becomes a portrait of the forgotten — the ones who never folded, even after death.
These are not outlaws. These are players of the long game — those who played for blood, breath, or something stranger. Inside, you’ll find over 30 haunting engravings, each paired with a poetic vignette. Skulls smirk mid-bluff. Eyes stare across the felt. Every carving carries the tension of a wager never settled. This isn’t just a deck of art. It’s a séance in silver and bone.
