The Lovecraft horrors inspired a team of active Pennsylvanian guys to write a cookbook with creepy recipes and the same illustrations.
«Ever wondered if you could combine Lovecraftian horror and fine cuisine, while keeping your sanity?»
So begins the description of their Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign page.
Under the campaign’s terms, the developers needed $27500 to start the printing process. But people liked the idea so much that they have already donated $60552, while the campaign will last until December 10, 2017.
The title of the book Necronomnomnom derived from the title Necronomicon, the book of the dead, which is a part of several Lovecraft short stories. Necronomicon in original contained mysterious poems about death and how to call terrible ancient beings.The book was wrapped by human skin.
The book will be released in hardcover in 100-page volume with recipes in the form of spells and rituals.
