Advance praise for Vampire's Tale Tarot from author Susan Wands:
The Vampire’s Tale by Sasha Graham
Have you ever imagined exacting revenge as a Vampire?
A delirious, seductive world of self-discovery and terror is experienced through the eyes of a vampire in Sasha Graham’s The Vampire’s Tale.
The tarot deck’s novella instruction book invites you to “drink, dream and play” in vampire Octavia Lucia Dellacroce’s lush, epic journey from innocent to vengeful predator. This breath-taking tarot deck is created from the trials and tribulations of vampire Octavia as she seeks revenge in her quest for love, blood and family. The result is a compelling adventure of other worldly characters, running the breadth from vampires to queens, kings, mermaids, humans and vampire slayers. The Emperor is cast as Olivia’s father, Claudius Stoker Dellacroce, a sly wink to Dracula author Bram Stoker.
From the minute you open the deck vampire bats greet you, setting the stage for a unique roam into a world of tarot and vampire clans. On each tarot card Octavia’s journey is matched with Abigail Larson’s exquisite drawings of this compelling underworld. Key words and direct meanings of the images are followed by the hidden factors of reversals and secret questions summing up the tarot card’s objective. One of my favorites was the Five of Pentacles’ artwork and its Secret Question: “How can I stop focusing on scarcity and lack?”
The transference of magical, scary images to wise counsel in this deck is original and inspirational. As foretold in the beginning of this deck, “Our life is the spell we weave,” The Vampire’s Tales weaves a powerful and unique guide to the original shadow self, the vampire.
