The Fantod Pack by Edward Gorey

The images on these cards are exactly what you'd expect to arise from the imagination and sharp pen of Gorey. This is the Tarot reduced to what every storyteller knows people believe. Gone are any hints of hope and happiness, leaving only all the disaster, doom, and despair. Not that they can't be used for actual readings with the right frame of mind, of course. The instruction book is particularly fun, and fits the tone of the work perfectly.

Edward Gorey's trademark sense of impending doom is nowhere more darkly humorous than in this, his version of a tarot card deck. Each of the 20 cards forecasts a list of outcomes for the user ranging from the merely unpleasant (loss of hair, breakage, thwarted ambitions) to the downright horrible (catarrh, spasms, shriveling). The 32-page booklet provides interpretation of the cards courtesy of one Madame Groeda Weyrd, who Gorey tells us 'is of mixed Finnish and Egyptian extraction, has devoted her life to divination, and is the author of, among a shelf of other works, Floating Tambourines, a collection of esoteric verse, and The Future Speaks Through Entrails.' Who but Gorey to make mirth from a kaleidoscope of catastrophe?

These cards, if taken seriously, could give you nightmares ... fortunately, they're so obviously a Tarot spoof that they're simply hysterically funny! Predictions of such conditions as creeping sickness, fugues, and scales make us almost happy just to have arthritis or a head cold. The cards themselves are very well made, laminated in plastic to last pretty much forever. The box is an extra (and pleasant) surprise--it's high quality, the top and bottom fit together perfectly, and the surface feels elegant in the hand. For what you get, the price is ridiculously low! I've been a Fantod fan since the 1960s, when our family discovered the Esquire rendition, including the cards to paste on backing and cut out as well as the full introduction and meanings for the cards. The meaning of this card is whatever it evokes in the person viewing the card. If you appreciate the odd, absurd, and unsettling, Fantod is the pack for you! If you have a working knowledge of Tarot, all the better!!
