Edward Gorey�s trademark sense of impending doom is nowhere more darkly
humorous than in this, his version of a tarot card deck. Each of the 20 cards
forecasts a list of outcomes for the user ranging from the merely unpleasant
(loss of hair, breakage, thwarted ambitions) to the downright horrible
(catarrh, spasms, shriveling). The 32-page booklet provides interpretation
of the cards courtesy of one Madame Groeda Weyrd, who Gorey tells us �is
of mixed Finnish and Egyptian extraction, has devoted her life to divination,
and is the author of, among a shelf of other works, Floating Tambourines, a
collection of esoteric verse, and The Future Speaks Through Entrails.� Who but
Gorey to make mirth from a kaleidoscope of catastrophe?
Twenty (2 1/2 x 4 3/4 inch) cards and a 32-page interpretive booklet in a
decorative box. Box size is 3 1/16 x 5 5/16 x 3/4 inches.
