Every time I died, I received another coin to place in the skull of Francisco Xalbec. The skull was ornate, layered in gold with silver rimming the eye sockets, in which sat multi-faceted black gems. Whenever I dropped another coin in the skull, it reflected a thousand-fold in those dark eyes, as did the face that I knew was mine yet couldn’t recognize.
“The Skull of Francisco Xalbec,” Alan M. Fisher

About The Deadlands
The Deadlands is a quarterly speculative fiction magazine. We publish short stories, poems, and essays about the other realms, of the ends we face here, and the beginnings we find elsewhere. It is an adventure into the unknown, to meet those who live there still, even though they may be dead. Death is a journey we all will take, but we’d like to peek at the map before we go.
