Book Description

Second in the extraordinary manga series “that is part fantasy, part horror and entirely intriguing . . . Park’s artwork is stellar (Publishers Weekly). Meet Aaron, an accidental werewolf with a painful past of abuse and abandonment, seeking an answer to his problem. He decides to take a position as an assistant with Pamela at the Tarot Café while he searches for a solution. A glimpse into Pamela’s life before the Tarot Café is laden with prejudice and persecution. Seven hundred years ago, Pamela’s mother made the ultimate sacrifice for her daughter . . . but even now, is the fear that doomed her mother really gone? Praise for The Tarot Café series “The black-and-white manga-style illustrations are clear and expressive and fully complement the text, and the tarot cards are interestingly drawn. As each one is turned over, its meaning is explained. The stories are mostly about adults, but they will appeal to older teens as they move quickly and are engrossing.” —School Library Journal “The stories are suitably creepy in a gothic, Twilight Zone-ish way . . . The artwork really makes this manga stand above the crowd.” —Booklist
