Is it my imagination ...
Or are the images on this deck a tad TOO dark? Not the content, but the actual printed image. My absolute favorite deck is the Victorian Romantic by the same artists, so I eagerly awaited this new deck. So it was with some disappointment that I noticed right away how dark the card images are. You can especially see the difference when comparing to the small black & white photos in the book, which, even in much smaller form, contain so much more detail. Otherwise, I completely agree with all the positive reviews previously mentioned here. The book is also first-rate. The thought and research that went into each card is impressive. This will still be a treasured deck in my tarot collection, and I would give it a full five stars if not for the extreme darkness of the card images. There's so much rich detail in the artwork, and it's a shame some of it can't be seen unless you take a look at the corresponding book photo. Still ... a beautiful deck brilliantly conceived.

Just the coolest!
I'm more of a Robin Wood girl though I have many, many decks, it's the RW deck that's always the one I turned to so I was somewhat surprised to see that this deck called to me so strongly. As an old, old fan of gothic novels and the old "B" horror movies of the 30's through the 60's these cards are like coming home-a really dark, strange home but home nevertheless. I love, love, love this deck and use it frequently....still use ol' Robin most of the time but certain questions, certain days and certain moods call for my Gothic deck.

Interesting
I find this deck & book interesting, having some trouble at present
getting into the darker side of this deck
I gave a 4 as the book is excellent put together giving a lighter
and darker description, I suspect in time I will get to using this
deck and probably end up loving it big time
