Customer Reviews

This spooky series deserves to be re-released!

Eyes of the Tarot was an excellent book about a girl in high school who realizes she's developing psychic powers. Why is it happening? She soon figures it all out, but has a hell of a time along the way. For instance, when her friend asks for a tarot reading at school, she blacks out and the fun begins. I won't say much more, but I suspect if you're looking for this book, you probably owned it back in the 1980s. This is one of my favorites of the Dark Forces series. I believe it was released around 1983, give or take a year, and as a young child of 8, I was enthralled with this series! I only wish these were available today in my local library - they'd sure give the Goosebumps series a run for its money! This series and the also-loved Twilight series were both the Goosebumps of my day (early to mid 80s) and I would argue that these books are actually MUCH better and more readable as an adult than Goosebumps books are. I find Goosebumps to be quite cheesy, where these books are somewhat more believable and have that classic 70s/80s horror feel that just can't be beat. Between Dark Forces and Twilight, there are at least 80 books that I owned - all of them have a special place in my heart! C'mon, guys... re-release these wonderful series so that kids of today may benefit and be scared senseless! ;)

Very Good

This book was very good although it was a little confusing at times. I found it very interesting and thought it had a good story plot.
