I have absolutely no care for tarot, I have absolutely no belief in the rubbish that is often "told in the cards," and I care even less for the history of tarot. That is not why I bought this book. I bought this book because it is Luis Royo, the best fantasy artist out there at this time, whose haunting imagery, beautiful ladies, and horrid beasts have covered so many of todays top fantasy and sci-fi writers' dust jackets.

And this book must be added among the list of his best works because of the change of style he has taken to do this book. Each new painting is a card in the tarot, and he brings it to life, even for skeptics, though without his paintings it would be lost entirely to me. I recommend this book to those of you who love Royo, Heavy Metal, or are a fan of fantasy art in some way. Note that this book contains nudity and sex.
