You've never seen tarot cards quite like these. Imagine the celebrated Rider Deck infused with the horrors of "Night of the Living Dead", and the result is "The Zombie Tarot" - a crazy, campy interpretation of a classic divination system. In this zombified parallel universe, wands become limbs, pentacles are biohazard symbols, and the Major Arcana is full of shambling corpses. Along with the 78-card deck, readers will receive instructions in a 96-page full-color book; its contents explain how to survive the zombie apocalypse and forecast your future using one of three different card layouts. The secrets of "The Zombie Tarot" await you!
