I sit here, with a celebratory Gin and Miskatonic, reflecting on this campaign. What an incredible response. What an incredible start! What an incredible set of Backers!

I want to say, "Who knew?" - but we knew. You knew. An unlikely combination, cosmic horror and fine cuisine? To be sure - but it had appeal, and you saw it. You said - "Yeah - I want to see that happen."

 And it's going to. 

What happens next?
The funds will wend their way to us, and thence to our partners. That'll take a couple of weeks according to Kickstarter. This is when manuscript-building begins in earnest. Meanwhile, we continue our preparatory work. We'll be cooking, testing, retesting, improving, sketching, writing, translating, laughing maniacally, and hiding secrets in places for the secret-seekers to seek them - and all the other things that will go into this undertaking. 

We will keep you up to date. We owe you a reveal on the last stretch goal - and we want that to be the real thing and not just a description. We hope to get you that over the next couple of weeks. We also have some exciting possibilities to explore. We'll say more if they pan out as the enhancements we think they might.

We plan to post work-in-progress updates, so you can get cooking along with us. Heck - we might even put your results in a section in the digital book if you send them to us and they look better than ours! We intend for this to continue to be an engaging and collaborative campaign.

We have recipe submissions to create with two very special backers, and two more from our collaborators (Hellen and Miguel are already started, and we can't wait to get cookin' with them).

We've got one heck of a dinner to plan for our top-tier Backer. That's going to be a ton of fun by itself.

We have such things to show you...

And we have such gratitude for your support and interest. This is gonna be awesome. 

Thank you all,

Mike & Tom

The Mysteries of The Necronomnomnom

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...?

Wow! You folks kick butt!

We are in the final run-up, and all further backing is going into whatever additional improvements we might yet be able to add to the book. There's talk of dyed page edges and tassels (everyone loves tassels - right?). If they are an enhancement - we will evaluate adding them (we are awaiting quotes and samples to see if they fit with the aesthetic of the book) - if such extras won't greatly extend our intended timeline. 

Backer Brian Munoz suggested a holiday placard that could be sent to gift recipients if you intend to buy a copy for someone special this holiday season - and we've got that thing for you right here in this update! Thanks again for the idea, Brian, and thanks Kurt for the quick turnaround on the art.

Feast your eyestalks!

Nom! Nom! Nom! Merry Yuggothmas!

SYFY Wire, that is!

Cultists, Creatures, Investi-geetcher look-balls on this article! Exclusive first looks at FOUR more recipies, and FIFTY (YES - FIFTY) more Deluxe covers! This is it, last shot at those covers - our man David can do no more (we've already stapled as many extra appendages as we can to the guy) in the timeframe we remain committed to for you.

It's a great write up - and we're thrilled to have the SyFY community's interest. Check it out!

Here is another project that we had our eye on. It's ending soon so wrap your appendages around these great looking utensils. Holiday Delivery

A quick blurb. "Five years and seven Kickstarter campaigns later, the GIR team finally perfected their two most-requested kitchen tools: tongs and whisks. They developed an intuitive one-handed locking mechanism for the GIR Tongs so they work like an extension of your hands: simply squeeze to lock, and squeeze to unlock. The GIR Whisk features 12 hardened stainless steel wires (versus the typical 8-10 wires), inserted under high tension, to create max vibration and efficiency for faster, easier whisking. Their campaign has less than 24 remaining, and most items come with guaranteed holiday delivery - so act fast if you are trying to complete your holiday gift shopping!"
