Ghost

Davide Corsi's Ghost Tarot opens with a thesis the review preserves: ghosts as the memory of the world, expressions of emotion, desire and interrupted potential, what counts being their reflection in our lives. That framing lifts the deck decisively out of Halloween: Corsi's spectres are elegiac rather than frightening, the unfinished business of feeling given form, closer to memory-work than haunting. Corsi's polished digital atmospherics, familiar from his Lo Scarabeo catalog, suit the translucent subject; his ghosts have weight precisely because they are rendered with none. Alongside Lisa Hunt's warmer Ghosts and Spirits on this shelf, the pairing maps the genre's range: her spirits visit, his linger. It suits readers doing memory and grief work who want the metaphor explicit, atmospheric-deck collectors, and anyone who understood the review's thesis with a small shock of recognition. Those wanting their ghosts for October fun have jollier hauntings available; these ones stay all year, as the unfinished do.
