I wish I had taped an unboxing video when I opened this product because I squealed like a four year old when I saw what deck it was. And then I did the Snoopy happy dance around my house. I was just on Amazon.com earlier in the week eyeing this deck and contemplating a purchase. And then low and behold, it was sent to me so kindly by Schiffer Publishing! Thank you so much, Schiffer!

I have been truly enjoying this deck. The images of vampires, ghosts and all things that go bump in the night are just out of this world. The cards are about the size of a Doreen Virtue oracle card and with a similar card thickness. This does make the cards a bit hard to shuffle but there is enough give in the card stock that it makes the shuffling process easier. This is a normal 78 card deck and the book that come with this deck is a mega 256 pages. Schiffer always puts out a great product and the deck nearly always comes with a book that is of a good size and is filled with so many divination hints that you just can't go wrong with any of them.

The deck is packaged in a very nice and firm box with a magnetic closure which keeps both your book and deck in pristine condition.

When drawing cards, there have been a few times when I have thought I saw one thing on the card and then realized later that it wasn't what I thought it was. But in a way, that trait is very cool because the deck almost seems to morph with whatever meaning they want the cards to bring. A very cool feature for me, that is for sure. Not sure if anyone else has experienced this phenomena.

This deck is published by Schiffer Publishing and you can find it on their website www.schifferbooks.com or on Amazon.com.

I received this deck as gratis from Schiffer. But the views and opinions of this deck are surely my own.
