Dark Sister
Ok, personally I love it and it reads beautifully for me (have the silver and the regular edition as well straight from Prague) , BUT if you have no affinity or liking for, or are creeped out by, or dissolve into mocking laughter when confronted by:
Gothic fiction e.g. M R James, Edgar Allen Poe, Bram Stoker, Sheridan Le Fanu, Mary Shelley, Robert Loius Stevenson et al
Old fashioned horror films e.g. Hammer, Amicus
The darker side of folklore - vampires, werewolves, animated skeletons, Victorian type graveyard and stately home architecture settings, creepy children, generally scary although not particularly bloodthirsty stuff
Dark and shadowy meanings for familiar cards
Dark and shadowy atmospheres where you just KNOW that the stupid heroine exploring a strange noise will get chomped or at least have to scream and faint/ whatever
then you will probably not get on with it too well and would do best to avoid it. Also you can see all the cards at http://www.bohemiangothic.com/ which may help one way or another.

After months of waiting and thinking it was a definite MUST-have....I now find myself hesitating.
I know that there are a lot of people who LOVE this deck, but I am asking for reasons why I should resist temptation (hence the title: DE enabling), at least until the regular, non-silver edition comes out.
Someone PLEASE talk me out of it if you can~ thanks!
