Product Description

"The Vampire Tarot" ties the tales and mythic figures associated with the vampire legend to the equally iconographic figures and forms of the tarot. This deck is a beautifully rendered, fully realized tarot, capable of providing a clear reading to those that use it. But beyond that, it explores the history of the vampire starting with Bram Stoker's classic 1897 novel, "Dracula", as well as those writings that inspired Stoker and the vampire lore that derived from it. Stoker and his most famous work were both closely tied to the classic Rider-Waite-Coleman tarot. Now, author-illustrator Robert M. Place brings these two mythic traditions together in this soon-to-be classic tarot. Included is a four-color, fully illustrated seventy-eight card deck, and a extensively researched book that guides the reader through the subtleties and parallels within "The Vampire Tarot", providing a guide for getting the most out of reading. Sure to delight not only tarot devotees but the general fan of the vampire mythos as well.

Customer Reviews

eagerly awaiting the full Vampire Tarot
I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on this deck and book. I've been eagerly awaiting it for the last couple of years now. Having been in the highly privileged position of viewing the original artwork back in New York at a Tarot School Readers Studio I have grasped every opportunity to find out more about Robert's Vampire Tarot. I'm a huge fan of his work, the artwork is glorious, the text, the thinking, the study that goes into his work is exceptional.

I love the fact that this deck stays much truer to the Bram Stoker story. Robert really "gets it" and I'm glad that he has held some fantastic courses and teleclasses around this. And soon, very soon, we will have the completed deck and book which I know will surpass all expectations. I just can't wait to get my hands on this deck having purchased a copy of the limited edition Majors back in the spring of 2008.

Thank you to Robert for bringing the most beautiful and deep Tarot decks into the world for us enthusiasts.

So . . . how many days to go until it's in my hands???
