It had to happen sooner or later. This July, publisher Simon & Schuster is distributing a deck of -- what for it -- Universal Monsters Tarot cards! Created by Insight Editions, the deck will include both major and minor arcanas, as well as a 128-page guidebook to help you on your way to predict a monstrous future for anyone daring to ask!
My interest in the Tarot lies with more authentic versions, thank you, so I'll be passing on this one. Plus, I think the art is a little crappy. In any event, it'll be interesting to see what they slap these venerable monsters on next.
