I have this deck, and I love it, although it isn't for everyone. If you do a search using Dark_angel and Vargo Gothic, you'll fully appreciate how brilliant I think this deck is.
A few friends of mine have tried it and found it a bit too dark for their tastes, though, so make sure you have a good look at the cards; they clicked with me, and may well with you.
I think my favourite cards are the Knights of Pentacles and Cups, and the High Priestess, but every card has a deliciously macabre yet romantic feel.

I love this deck passionatly. It's dark and romantic, seductive and scary all at once. It's also hard to handle. If you look at the Forum carefully, you will find a section dedicated to the study of this deck, so if ever you are at loss with it deck, come to see us, we'll help you.
If you want to see more of the deck, I suggest you to see their website entirely. The deck is based on previous works from Vargo and you can see the works upon the deck was based on, on their calendars, T-shirts, postcards.

This deck is very appealing. Is it only available through the artist's website, or is it in general release?

There is a whole study group devoted to this deck, begun by Wolfy James. I've started to get interested in the deck too, from reading Wolfy's and Umbrae's wonderful takes on the cards. (Even though vampires are not exactly my "thang") (though I love gargoyles).

I love this deck too. Wolfy already described it wonderful: It is dark, romantic and seductive. Vargo created a fascinating world to explore and I thoroughly enjoy it. The images often differ a lot from traditional images but this deck is ideal for intuitive reading anyway. I don't think you will regret to have this one!
