I know it's the go-to thing to say as high praise, but these feel like an official product in every way.
From just the physical opening of the deck, it's immediately apparent that both artistic design (those skeletons!) and written aesthetic seemlessly fit into the wider ambiance of CoC/Pulp CoC. The cards provide an impressive array of specific manias, phobias, and insanities with clear instructions that will impact both strategic game and creative role play. The specific typelines range from the obvious (such as amnesia and various flavors of paranoia and hysteria) to the subtle and even hilarious (I'm just going to spoil a card title here: "Secret Agent Man") without actually stepping over the line into absurd zaniness.
To put it simply, these are bouts of madness that will improve your game night.
