"The Family Arcana" is a weird gothic tale in fifty-two cards, the portrait of a sprawling family bound to a decaying farmhouse by a web of secrets and strange obsessions. Sleepwalking Mother, heartbroken Father, bitter old Grandfather, loopy Grandmother, a jittery flock of suspicious aunts, uncles, and cousins: all their stories are told by the children of the house, who are impossibly numerous, darkly vindictive, and ever watchful.A project years in the making, each card contains a piece of the story, and the cards may be read in any order. With each shuffle of the deck, the family twists and changes, trapped forever in its haunted house of cards. No library descriptions found. |
