| Summary: | "Revised to include every card in the rare series, this 3-D cult classic provides a unique satirical look at an 1860s view of Hell the French state under the tyrannical rule of Napoleon III. Diableries transports readers to a nightmarish netherworld inhabited by devils and skeletons in the nicest possible way, of course! The amazing 3-D cards show scenes of torture, fire, and every variety of licentious behavior, with scantily clad ladies of the demi-monde and the devil himself encouraging the participants' worst intentions. After five years of searching, Dr. Brian May and his coauthors were able to find the one card, entitled La Cuve or The Barrel, missing from the initial publication of the book"--Amazon.com. |
