After sitting on the idea for a couple of years then putting my big pants on and pitching the idea to Quirk Books (who snatched it up in a matter of minutes), the Zombie Tarot finally managed to stop licking the windows and turn the doorknob to get into bookstores today.
It's been a whirlwind of interviews, readings and podcasts as I got ready to shove the zombies into the daylight but we handled it with only a few missing body parts. Thank you to all involved in its creation and promotion, especially my editor Jason Rekulak at Quirk Books and Paul Kepple and Ralph Geroni from Headcase Design, I appreciate
your support very much! I'll trip y'all last when the zombie apocalypse
comes.
Find your copy of the Zombie Tarot at your local Barnes & Noble or online at Amazon!
PS: Stay off the Bath Salts. Yeesh.
Update: Holy bananas! Zombie Tarot is a pick for the L.A. Times Summer Reading Guide!
This publisher's not called Quirk for nothing. It has given us the ghoul-meets-Jane-Austen novel "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" by Seth Grahame Smith (screenwriter for Tim Burton's "Dark Shadows" among other things), Ransom Rigg's "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children" ... and now a deck of Tarot cards riffing on the popularity of zombies. The accompanying booklet gives a quick, breezy guide to the Major and Minor Arcana, as well as a how-to for conducting a successful reading. Just the sort of thing you'd expect to find on Ozzy Osbourne's nightstand. (June)
I was able to get my hands on a deck last Friday (soft release dates = love) and I can't even tell you how awesome this deck is!! I love it so much. The design of this thing is amazing. Everyone did such a good job!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy with the deck and packaging, Headcase Design outdid themselves. =D I'm glad you like it!
