Halloween Tarot (book by Karin Lee, illustrated by Kipling West)
Published by U.S. Games Systems, 1996
This was probably the most fun I’ve had on a project so far. I put
my friends, pets, weird stuff in my house and even an ex boyfriend
or two into this one. The Devil is my favorite card; she’s my homage
to the Devil Girls of Robert Crumb and Coop. Only, you can tell this
devil is drawn by a girl; she’s wearing sensible shoes.

on other ways to tell the future, including palm-reading, astrology,
