Le Fanu
I suspected it might be a translation of this book which I was tempted to buy a while back because it came with the deck reproduction with verses (except in German). This set has been in print in Germany for quite a long time now; reviews are mixed I see from this amazon page - goes from one star to five, from "falsche" to "genial!" The deck went OOP and can only be found in this set and together with the book. As I was reading, the book felt a bit stilted and translated and so I see my hunch was correct.
Teheuti's review says it all.
