Forging a Nightmare by Patricia A. Jackson

Like any story, the meaning unfolds as its characters interact-with each other, with the whims of fate, with obstacles in their paths. The deck will feature the complete set of all 78 tarot cards, illustrated with a stunning, limited palette and gold-foil accents. Working with a diverse and talented art team, they have tapped into the magic of these stories to bring a whole new kind of tarot deck to life… To create their latest endeavor, The Literary Tarot, they have reached out to some of the greatest authors and cartoonists of our time and asked them to pair a tarot card with a seminal book that embodies the meaning of the arcana.
