Cruel Thing Deck, just got it!

The deck was on ebay

Here is a review of it from Italy I think, it's sort of hard to follow after translating but you get the idea.

But what is really "Cruel Thing"?

The Cruel Thing Comic seems to deal with violent sexual images.
I think the "Cruel Thing" is the guy in the illustrations.

This superbly edited volume, its internal structure in a sequence of chapters, which serve as a vehicle driver to an elaborate plot accused romantic spirit. "Cruel Thing " by the hand of its author Lean, introduces us to an environment full of sensuality and violence, sheathed in a Gothic style, between two worlds coexist harmoniously giving vent to an imaginative mythical occult, which is gradually picking off its secrets throughout the series.
Crazy dream and take us by the hand of superstition through sordid corners, where death is just an excuse for revenge.

here's a link to the comic in English:

Well, the cards are very slippery and hard to shuffle, but I imagine that will wear off with a little use.

It's kind of weird looking at a spread with so much BLACK in it, too.

Oh gods...that IS pretty!

Thanks for posting it, hannafate!

The last thing I need is another deck...but lucky (or...unlucky)for me this one seems hard to acquire!

Definitely something to put on a wish list, however!

I imagine the readings would be be really interesting!

So did you buy it? I was watching it and they said that it was relisted. I figured that some ATer would be the one to buy it. Who knows I might jump on the next one.

Hi Onyx,

No I bought and paid for it last night when I saw it. I believe it said 6-8 days shipping (I think that's the Ox and Cart method), so I'm not expecting it til week after next at the earliest.

I prefere to wait a bit (if i buy it from ebay the shipping is almost 3/5 of the price of the deck ....

But knowing it is from Fournier means Alida will have them soon for a softer price (for those of us in Europe the best option)

My Cruel Things deck came today. That was fast! I generally like the deck, although they misspelled Strength as Strenght. I have another deck with that same misspelling.
