Necronomicon Cookbook

by Sean-Michael Argo

Description

There is a grimoire, known by most as the Necronomicon. It is ancient and powerful. Its very name is said to be the sound of howling demons. Upon its yellowed pages are spells and rituals that give terrible knowledge and power to those mad enough to seek it. The book is bound in human skin, inked in blood, and contains the dead names of Those Who Dwell Beyond. This is not that book. What you got in your paws right now, is best described, as one part grimoire and one part cookbook. In these pages you’ll read about slayers who fight the good fight to keep this here world spinning just one more day. How slayers cast spells using moonshine, and fight monsters with magic shotguns, then preserve their souls and sanity with some down home cooking. That’s where I come in. My name is Clifford Bartlett. I am a bootlegger, redneck outlaw, and a slayer of nasty things. The Elder Gods are coming, that’s for sure, from Cthulhu to Hastur. Their villainous allies are already here. The world is infested with cults and shoggoth demons and they will do their level best to bring about the end of everything. Sometimes, all that stands between us and them, is a pan of cornbread. Hope you brought an appetite.

A new, fresh take on the Mythos. I enjoyed it a lot. The main character is personable and easy to relate to, giving the whole book a comfortable feel, like a tall tale spoken by your best friend around a campfire.

The rules and physics of this particular story universe are easy to pick up and understand, the concept of food and drink having power is clearly communicated, and overall, it's just fun. A far cry from the relentless doom-and-gloom common in the genre (although, like any Mythos story, there's plenty of the pain, suffering and insanity that fans know so well).

I highly recommend it.
