In the early 20th century, the legendary horror writer H.P. Lovecraft described an ancient treatise as "the unspeakable Necronomicon of the mad Arab Abdul Alhazred... a book I have never seen, but of which I have heard monstrous things gossip." In the early 21st century, bestselling author Donald Tyson wove the epic fantasy novels Necronomicon and Alhazred on this grimoire. Conceived as a trilogy, this tarot completes Tyson's formidable work.
The Necronomicon tarot shows us the chilling ghostly wanderings of Alhazred through the desert in an incredible and powerful book together with a tarot deck. Seventy-eight enigmatic illustrations by artist Anne Stokes capture the mythical and monstrous world of the Necronomicon while remaining true to the structure and lore of the tarot. Prepare to enter a world where a cursed and tormented poet wanders in search of the greatest and darkest black magic: divination with the dead.
