The Carnival at the End of The World is a unique deck. It’s not the cheapest tarot set available, but it’s strong enough in design and concept to warrant its self-published price tag. I had my eye on this deck for a considerable time before my eldest son bought it for me last year. Ashamedly, I’ve barely looked at it. In my defence, life has been exceptionally

The artist is Michele Penco, and he has since done another deck called the
