Diableries: Brian May and The Last Stereocard Discovered

Brian May, Denis Pellerin and Paula Fleming complete their Diableries book with the help of stereocard collector Levon Parian.

“We are overjoyed,” said May. “I don’t think we ever thought we’d get to this point, we thought it was a goner. I didn’t imagine we’d find the missing card because we had already been looking for 30 years. The final card – the last piece in the jigsaw puzzle – is called La Cuve, or The Vat, and features devils crushing grapes with their hooved feet in an enormous wooden vat."

Discovered in May 2018 this final piece of the puzzle solves the mystery of the missing cards.

"I was inspired by Brian when I met him at an NSA convention and began collecting the stereocard Diableries before the first book even came out. Eventually it became the guide map for my collection and I am proud to have contributed to the final equation for the completed editon." Levon Parian
