Pulp Magazines Themed Tarot Card Deck - with Characters from The History of Pulp Illustration - Boxed Set with 78 Cards

As a Rider-Waite-Smith loyalist, I was initially skeptical, but the Pulp Fiction Tarot cards truly impressed me! The artwork is modern yet thoughtfully aligned with traditional card meanings, making it both fresh and familiar. The deck itself is well-made with decent card stock, and the sturdy book-style box is a fantastic touch. I highly recommend this deck—especially for fellow RWS enthusiasts looking to expand their collection!

I got this deck on a whim. I love kitschy 40s/50s pulp art and was curious how this would be represented in a Tarot deck. I have to say, I love everything about this deck. The art is amazing. It is unique, fun, and very creative. There are a few continuity elements throughout the deck that I just love (e.g. the person handing the cup on the 4 of cups is the same person seeking more meaning in the 8 of Cups. The woman in the 3 of pents has all the loot in the 7 of pents). Great stuff. The holding case is a cardboard facsimile of a pulp novel. And the LWB is more like a brief journal from the creator, than an instruction manual that I appreciate. Will this be my primary deck that I reach to for readings? Probably not. that will be my TdM. But for lighthearted, fun reading, and just to admire the art this is top of the list. So glad I picked up.

These are a really fun take on a Rider-Waite-Smith deck and I just love the artwork. Cards are legible and read well. Each suit is like a different pulp magazine and the oversized box is designed to look like a well worn book. Overall great design concept, practical and useable deck, easy to interpret, and I enjoyed flipping through all of the designs.

I think this deck is great, so great in fact that I bought it twice! I love the retro look of the deck but more importantly is the fact that the picture for the card is appropriate to the Rider-Waite classic imagery.

I saw this deck initially on Tik Tok as someone was reviewing it. I was immediately captivated by the artwork, had to buy right away. Shuffles smoothly with sturdy card-stock. Thin but not too thin. Perfect if you ask me. Love everything about these cards.

Really fun but also gorgeously retro and sophisticated: I love it. The LWB (little white book) asks relevant questions and is nicely done. This is a smasher (as Sidney Poitier said to Pam in TO SIR, WITH LOVE). Get it!

I love the art, they are so beautiful cards but the card material is not good, just when shuffling them they bend at the corners very easy.

I love to use tarot decks for writing story prompts. This deck is my go to for noir, darker story prompts, and anti-hero type characters. It isn't that the tarot deck is necessary dark-dark, but there is a slight shift in perspective with the cards that you won't get from a traditional deck to get your brain going.Most tarot guide books that come with the deck aren't that good, but this one is written in a wonderful, thoughtful manner and the author's take on the cards is really interesting. The interpretation is specific to his version of the cards. So many guide books don't bother and have basic info from a generic deck that's close to meaningless. The guide book from this deck really helps you point out and interpret imagery from the deck, so while I don't use it for "telling the future" I can see it being a great tool for a traditional tarot reader or a beginning tarot reader that wants a deck with a slightly different vibe.
