The Zombie Tarot: An Oracle of the Undead with Deck and Instructions
by
Paul Kepple,
Stacey Graham (Goodreads Author)
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....more

I know Zombie's are all the rage right now, so a Zombie Tarot isn't too surprising. But this is such a unique spin. The art has a 1950s post-atomic-bomb-apocalyptic feel. It was perfect right after the Housewives Tarot. They balance each other.
It comes in a pretty heavy-duty cardboard box similar to the Housewives Tarot. The cards are made from a thick cardstock that seems like it will last forever!

All I know about tarot readings I learned from watching movies/tv, so I am almost positive I know nothing about doing a proper reading. However, when I received my copy of The Zombie Tarot in the mail I sat down and read through the manual and then began scanning the cards...hours later I was ready to attempt a reading. I say hours because the cards are so amazingly detailed that I had to spend time scrutinizing each one at length.

If you love zombies, campy humor, or 1950s style ads, this is The Zombie Tarot deck for you. The 78 card deck comes in a sturdy box that looks like an ammo box when you are taking off the lid. An instruction booklet is provided for those who want some guidance in how to conduct a reading. A description of the major and minor arcane are included as well – so you will know just what they mean for your reading!

This deck is so much fun. It is by the same people who brought us The Housewives Tarot deck a few years back, the same tongue-in-cheek idea. Great for those who collect decks, horror and zombie items, or just have a wonderfully twisted sense of humor.
Like the Housewife deck, the Zombie deck uses late 50's early 60's imagery to personify the cards, very Night of the Living Dead retro look.

What can I say? These cards are a hoot. Booth creepy and campy, but they're accurate as well. The card stock is nice and heavy so you can get a good, healthy shuffle.
The book is hysterical, but pretty spot on, so armatures can do a decent reading with these cards.
I love them. They crack me up.

File under: tarocchi + vintage style + anni Cinquanta + gli zombi + humour. Ottima alternativa ai giochi di società natalizi. Le carte sono stupende, curatissime, piene di dettagli... squisite proprio come il vostro cervello.
One of the best decks on the market and I have over 100 decks! Love it!!!
Love this deck and the book, while not very in-depth, is pretty good.
I love this deck! I am a HUGE zombie fan, and The Zombie Tarot has a wonderfully fun and campy feel. There was a lot of thought put into this deck, not only in the wonderfully detailed cards but also in the booklet and even the box the cards come in all add to the delightful theme. I would highly recommend this deck to all collectors and zombie enthusiasts.
