The Vampire’s Tale Tarot by Sasha Graham & Abigail Larson

The Major Arcana becomes Octavia’s own Fool’s Journey, with familiar archetypes recast as characters and encounters within her story. The Emperor becomes her father, Claudius Stoker Dellacroce, while the Magician introduces her to the vampire world and the quest that awaits her.

The Minor Arcana expands the story through four vampire Houses aligned with the traditional suits:

• House of Flame — Wands
• House of Depth — Cups
• House of Thought — Swords
• House of Form — Pentacles

Characters, relationships, and secrets emerge as you move through the cards, making the deck as much fun to explore as it is to read.

The 212-page, full-color guidebook extends the experience beyond traditional card meanings. Sasha Graham uses the Major Arcana entries to unfold Octavia’s story, while the Court Cards and Minor Arcana reveal more of the characters, Houses, and mysteries of her world.

Entries include keywords, card meanings, hidden factors for reversals, and a “Secret Question” for further reflection, adding another layer to both reading and exploring the deck.

Sasha Graham is a tarot author, teacher, and deck creator known for bringing storytelling, imagination, and the shadowy side of the psyche into her work with the cards. Her previous decks include Dark Wood Tarot, Tarot of Haunted House, and Tarot of the Witch’s Garden.

In The Vampire’s Tale Tarot, Graham turns the traditional Fool’s Journey into Octavia’s own gothic coming-of-age story, weaving the meanings and archetypes of Tarot into a richly imagined narrative of identity, desire, transformation, and self-discovery. The deck reunites Graham with artist Abigail Larson, her collaborator on Dark Wood Tarot.
