Product Description

This one-of-a-kind deck celebrates the emotional extremes and narrative depth of both tarot and pulp fiction, delivering intense symbolism with visual drama.

When you blend the two, you unlock a deck that speaks to love, danger, bravery, and mystery—urging you to reimagine yourself with each card pull.
Whether you’re a reader, a collector, or a lover of vintage pulp, this deck is sure to capture your imagination and guide you through the labyrinth of your own inner narrative.
