The record
Zombie Tarot Mystical Prediction Oracle is also known as Your Weapon of Choice and An Oracle of the Undead. This is a novelty card deck published by Quirk Books which capitalises on the current wave of interest in all things 'zombie'. It consists of 78 cards illustrated by Paul Kepple (author of The Housewives Tarot) and Ralph Geroni of Headcase Designs. Also included is a 96 page instruction booklet offering three key words and a brief explanation of the energy by Stacey Graham (author of The Girls Ghost Hunting Guide). These are boxed in a deluxe carton, suitable for keeping silver bullets or cremation ashes! I overcame immense reluctance to work with this deck and having placed my prejudices to one side, I studied the collages which are created from 1930s, 40s and 50s American newspapers. I soon began to enjoy the gruesome elements of this deck as much as a young male goth who has a pathological fascination for horror films and enjoys playing sick pranks. The card backs are black with the blackened image of a zombie in sultans headgear which is adorned with a jewelled brooch and feather. Wands are represented by limbs, pentacles by bio-hazard symbols, cups by skulls
