Fifty-Four Devils:
The Art & Folklore of Fortune-telling with Playing Cards

This brief-but-richly drawn book explores the practice of divination by playing cards—known as cartomancy. It reveals the “secrets in plain sight” which hide within the pips, kings, queens, and jokers of a standard deck. Explore one method of divination in-depth as you meet the “fifty-four devils”—the symbolic spirits of each card—and learn about invoking ancestral blessings for card readings, the folklore of playing cards, and how to relate fairy tales to a spread along the way.

Featuring stories from great authors like H.D. Grogan, Inanna Gabriel, & Jason White, as well as many others (including Cory).

A Rustle of Dark Leaves: Tales from the Shadows of the Forest

This collection of tales explores the world of the dark forest, often with horrific glee. Step among the trees and discover the tales that lurk within the shadows that fall across the forest floor.

Includes stories by Alexis A. Hunter, Gerri Leen, LaShawn M. Wanak, Jenni Wiltz, Seth Drake, and many more, with an introduction by Cory Thomas Hutcheson (Misanthrope Press, 2012, currently out-of-print).
