Details:
About 15 cards will be redesigned, some substantially and others less noticeably. There will be some tweaks (mainly in colouring) on all cards and of course cold-stamping - in "cold" silvery colours - will be added to all cards. The Limited Edition deck will also have two extra cards - the imagery of these is not yet decided.

This cult deck is a deeply atmospheric set of cards that's steeped in the dark romanticism of Victorian Gothic fantasy. The imagery doesn't follow any stories exactly, Instead it's designed to be evocative of the work of Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, Mary Shelley, M. R. James, Henry James, Robert Louis Stevenson and their contemporaries. When you use these cards, we leave you to imagine your own eerie and mysterious stories - if you dare!

- This is a signed and numbered Limited Edition - 990 decks only will be printed in a strictly limited edition that will not be repeated.
- 81 fully-illustrated cards - including title card and TWO extra cards. We have not yet decided on which extra cards will be included but will make sure they are beautiful.
- Many changes from the earlier editions - these vary from slight alterations of colour to extensive reimagining of imagery.
- Very large format fully illustrated cards, 165 * 100 mm (about 6.5 * 4 inches) plus a title card.
- Cold-stamped. This is an underlaid ink but gives the impression of a metallic overlay. It is NOT actually metal though, so there are no metal-allergy issues. You can see a video of how cold-stamped cards look below (these are not final cards, but the video gives an idea).
- This limited edition deck comes in a black wooden hinged box with a silver title and graphics. These boxes are made specially for us in Czech Republic. Please note that because in Europe there are now no supplies of birch from Russia, the alternative birch wood used in this box may show some grain and knots - we actually rather like that as it shows it came from a tree!
- Printed in Europe under our careful supervision.
- Printed on 330 gram European playing-card stock with an inner core to protect against bending and folding.
- Varnished with semi-matte varnish so that the varnish is not too shiny.
- A detailed booklet is included. This will have less information than the companion book that is also available, but is comprehensive enough to allow you to use the deck.
