ARCANA CARCOSA

The Tarot Deck of Surreal Horror

Bruce Ballon & William King

Surreal Art created by

William King

This project has been luckily enough to be championed by an amazing artist, William King. I am highly honoured he took an interest in this endeavour! Working with him is a pleasure and his art is sublime, surreal, and haunting...

The Original Arcana Carcosa

The first version of THE ARCANA CARCOSA was created in the early 2010s. It was a collaboration between Bruce Ballon the bizarre magician and Steve Lines the artist. Only 100 decks were made as part of a charity project. The decks were snapped up by the magic community. The deck consisted of the Major Arcana and a few extra special cards. Sadly, Steve passed away last year in 2021, and it inspired Bruce to consider not only re-releasing the original deck in honour of Steve, but create a new ambitious version of an entire full tarot deck with surreal artist William King... with a unique reading system unlike any other... for use for readers, magicians, and Roleplaying gamers... as well as being a collectable for Mythos Mavens.
