Notes:
The deck came in a box with dividers that look like a 1950s recipe box.  The backs of the dividers have recipes, such as Divinated Eggs. 

The creators have used midcentury advertising artwork to create a RWS clone with a  50s look.

The Major Arcana cards represent various figures of inspiration and influences of the housewife on her journey through romances, conflicts, trails and tribulations of her suburban existence.

The suits are Pentacles (dishes), Swords ( knives), Cups (glasses) and Wands (brooms and mops).

Notes:
The Zombie Tarot Deck has a very retro look, like collages created from 1930's to 60's American newspapers. The cards are artfully done, with the traditional symbolism intact on a majority of them.

The card backs are black with the image of a zombie in sultan's headgear. Wands are represented by limbs, pentacles by bio-hazard symbols, cups by skulls and swords by hatchets.

Included is a 96 page instruction booklet by Stacey Graham offering three key words and a brief explanation .
