Which deck is most evil, dark, and malevolent?

[WyrdRaven]

I nominate Geiger's Baphomet Tarot for its unsettling, brooding, unhuman, impersonal malevolence. I don't have it. I can't even stand to look at it. It's a majors-only deck though, and OOP too, but maybe they'll decide to reprint it someday. *shudder*

I assumed the book was called the Necronomicon.

Probably the one by 'Simon', less likely the one by Tyson.
Possibly another.

But not likely to be the one actually written by Abdul Alhazred.

I thought Lovecraft invented the word ? I saw it in a thread......

He did.

And it didn't exist, but people wanted it to exist so bad they wrote some.

The Simon one has nothing to do with Lovecraft and is to do with Sumerian mythology.

The Tyson one does tie into Lovecraft.

He did invent it. Abdul Alhazred was the fictional Lovecraft character who wrote the fictional Necronomicon.

Oh good; I am not as mad as I thought. Cos after Lillie's post, I googled and just found a website that believes the Alhazred book really exists and that Lovecraft had read it

Strategeus, you could look up the Barbara Walter's tarot deck.

the Barbara Walter's tarot deck.

Now that would be a scary deck. I can already hear the voiceover - "I had this idea for a deck. Different majors, different points of view. I call it..."

Ahem...I think you meant Barbara Walker's...

Ahem...I think you meant Barbara Walker's...

Toe-may-toe, Toe-mah-toe... You understood me lol

This is a really fun thread to read. Unfortunately, I'm now obligated to put the Sine Requie on my "must have as soon as humanly possible" list.
