Oh man, I had a good laugh at some of those recipe names!  Thanks for sharing, and definitely backed. 

[Gadgetman!]

Eh... Coming from a country where sheep's head is considered a delicacy...

I'm in for the Hardcover.

 

[Cranky Dog]

I'm pledging just for the name!

 

And the potential for an awesome geek gift.

[Cranky Dog]

They just released a new block of 50 additional Deluxe editions!

 

The voices in my head told me to pledge on it, otherwise they'll keep singing Despacito (they're such Bieber eldritch fanboys).

I'm down for a hard copy. I like to write notes in my cookbooks.  Hopefully this one won't require blood.

Any ichor is suitable as a blood replacement.

 

Unless your elder god is anemic. Then they'll need the extra iron. Quinoa and oatmeal just won't cut it.

"More Evil" stretch goal has been reached at $66,666, giving us more recipes and book features!

 

And for the Elder Holiday Spirit: MiGo-Claws and Its 8 Tiny Brain Deer

 

Not sure which is worse, being naughty or nice?

LOL, today's update.

Tom, The Disembodied Voice here,   We are at roughly 70 Hours left in the campaign, and I am really excited to get this book out to everyone. When we hit 70,000 I did a little happy dance in front of my desk and hit my hand.. Anyway, Hope everyone likes the announcement from the previous Update #19... Give The Necronomnomnom as the perfect gift. Spread the Insanity... er the word. Be sure to tell your friends about the Kickstarter before it's too late. This book will not be offered at this price again.  Sooooooooo...... Your copies of The Necronomnomnom will now be physically summoned into existence. At face value, (see what I did there?) we have amazing artwork, a collection of great recipes to tease and toy with your palate, drinks to quench your insatiable thirst, and the puns... Puns to rip a little more of your sanity away with each otherworldly page. Your sanity will be tested and your family and friends will question your sobbing and blathering when they attempt to talk with you (never mind the awkward questions about the odd book on the table - just shout, "You can SEE IT?!" - and then pretend you didn't say anything). Don't get me started on "IF" you actually read the book out loud... Just keep something handy from the medicinal...er..."beverage" pages handy.    But what about the book, what about the secrets hidden inside. You didn't think that if you just get the book that all you get are the cool recipes. Today we will discuss the secrets and the mystery inside the book and pages.. ... We gave some hints on the Main ... page................. sorry getting distracted, here ... thought I heard something....... uh... the secrets..   Ok, well there is a mystery to solve in the pages.. we have hidden some clues and secrets in the book. We have been told to not share this info but since I had some time before the end of the Kickstarter, I would divulge a clue or two... Sorry, It's tough typing with this small scratch on my hand that just won't stop itching...   the voices itch... Well the secrets, we have found a .... crap this itch... I think it's bleeding now....   Ok this is annoying, where was I? The itch, No, the Voices... grrrrrrr NO!.. the secrets... yah! the secrets... SHALL REMAIN HIDDEN! DON'T TELL THEM....   What did I just type?.. and it won't delete, either... that's weird! Kickstarter is acting funny for me today.  So, Sorry Backers, disregard that last stuff I think I typed.....LOL..    So we have hidden some Easter eggs and ham and and bacon.... MMmmm breakfast.. What is wrong with me...? This damnable ITCH on my hand! Does this blood sound funny to you?    GAH!!!                              I need band-aids...... Solve the clues, find it..... Did, did. my hand.... Did my hand just BLINK!!!!!!  What the...   OK I'm DONE!! Find me a Hatchet!!! Oh, here it is in my other hand...wait, what? What's typing...?

Got mine today, and now all my other cookbooks are trying desperately to compress themselves together in the last .5" at the other end of the bookshelf...    

[Inarah]

Mine arrived also. The postman was so horrified by it, so eager to be rid of the foul package that it was flung upon my front steps in the rain and he fled in terror.  By some strange miracle or fortune of nature the volume itself was unharmed. 

 

 

[Cranky Dog]

Ooh, I didn't even realize they were already reaching their destinations. I was expecting mine much later in the month... because Canada.

 

I'm expecting good things from the post office (mostly because of my Reaper order from December).

[Cranky Dog]

Bwahahah, I finally got it! For some odd reason, I received the latex book cover weeks before the book itself.

 

The artwork is a blend of mythos artwork and disturbing representations of very mundane items. And the recipes are hand written with arcane sounding vocabulary.

 

Example:

At the Fountains of Madness (serves :1)

• 2oz scarlet syrup of Maraschin-Yoh
• 1oz half-and-half
• 10oz carbonic tincture of Ebon Serotina
• 3-6 Ursus-Gao-mai encased in ice
• 2-3 cross sections of fresh star fruit.

Preparation:

• Freeze them and keep them frozen! The bears and the... others. None of it can be trusted.
• Place them in the cylinder.
• Mix the carbon-bearing base substrate with the dark ichor.
• Then slide samples of the odd... fruit? These must be submerged fresh. Perfectly safe, vivisected as they are.
• Damn the Professor's theory about the milk-proteins! Add for dis-stir-bing results.

 

P.S. There's a downloadable PDF in plain English to make it easier. So it's gummy bears in ice cubes, Maraschino cherry syrup, black cherry seltzer, gummy blobs/star fruit, half-and-half cream on top.

This Kickstarter did not disappoint! I've been using this as a prop for my Call of Cthulhu game. The artwork and presentation is incredible... exactly what I wanted (at a very reasonable price).
