This is U.S. Games Systems' listing for Deviant Moon Tarot, created by Patrick Valenza and first published in 2008. As the publisher's own record it is the correct source for the deck's actual creator, publisher and release year. The listing itself gives concrete, checkable detail beyond bare bibliography: a 78-card deck whose moon-faced figures were built from manipulated photographs of eighteenth century tombstones, with symmetric reversible-friendly card backs and a ten-card Lunatic Spread included in the guidebook, and the deck has gone on to be voted top tarot deck of all time by Aeclectic Tarot's readers. Its limit is that a publisher listing still records those bibliographic and descriptive facts rather than offering independent critical analysis of the deck's imagery, so a claim about that interpretive question needs a source engaging the deck's content directly rather than its sales record.
