About This Deck
The Beauty of Horror Tarot Card Set, created by IDW Games and illustrated by Alan Robert, expands on Robert's best-selling "The Beauty of Horror" adult coloring book series. This tarot set features 78 pieces of original card art, all drawn by Robert, known for his meticulously crafted details and dark humor. The deck is presented in two distinct editions: "Fear Your Future," a traditional, fully-colored tarot deck, and "Color Your Destiny," an oversized black-and-white deck specifically designed for users to color themselves.
Both "Fear Your Future" and "Color Your Destiny" sets include 22 Major Arcana and 56 Minor Arcana cards, maintaining the standard tarot structure. The "Fear Your Future" deck features coloring by iconic horror artist Jay Fotos, known for his work on comics like "Locke & Key." These cards are standard tarot size (70x120mm) with a linen finish. The "Color Your Destiny" deck, on the other hand, consists of larger, uncoated cards (90x154mm) with black-and-white illustrations, making them ideal for personal artistic expression.
Each set comes with a tarot guidebook to assist with card readings and an enrollment in a weekly "HORRORscope" newsletter. The campaign also offered a deluxe "Ultimate Nightmare" bundle, which included both tarot sets, a slipcase, a tarot cloth, and a portfolio of Alan Robert's artwork. This collection is designed to appeal to horror fans and those who enjoy interactive art, blending divination with creative engagement.
