Major Arcana: New Stories from the Tarot
Couldn't load pickup availability
A drunk priest in a famine-struck city is press-ganged into vampire hunting by a monster who calls
himself Christ's Blackguard. A schoolgirl asks a séance jar whether there is a witch among them, and
something answers. A condemned woman meets her executioner in a river and finds he is
concealing more than she is. Behind an electric fence in Johannesburg, a woman stops washing,
grows claws, and tells her dogs that tomorrow they will be wolves.
Eight stories. Eight cards. Eight ways to be remade.
From the gallows at Salem to a Cape Town lifestyle estate, from the ocean of milk where a god's
white elephant waits to a factory in hell run by Brer Rabbit, Major Arcana turns the deck face-up on
the oldest business of the tarot: the moment a life stops being one thing and becomes another. Here
are the accused, the appetite-ridden, the erased and the unforgiven – each one meeting the self the
card has been holding all along.
