Let us teach you the rituals to summon forth this Tome of Forbidden Victuals. Together, let us bring into existence... The NECRONOMNOMNOM!
Folks,
There's going to be an audiobook Necronomnomnom! Stretch Goal #1 is in the bag!
I also want you to see the progress on the Deluxe cover art. The amazing David Pirkle is amazing!
Feast...your eyes
Backers, fans, cultists, investigators and Nameless Others,
We have added several social media resources you may be interested in as ways of keeping up with the project:
On Facebook (seems appropriate, right?)

And always keep you eye on the comments and Updates here on Kickstarter. Let us know if you see us out in the wild, or spread the word someplace new!
Progress:
Our craftsman can now begin the mould for the Deluxe covers! Once finished, this will let us show you what the finished product will look like; conduct durability testing (the sample was gratifyingly difficult to tear) and, most importantly - let us figure out production speed, which may let us offer additional Deluxe covers and still meet our timeline. (Wow, H.P. might have been proud of that compound monstrosity of a sentence...)
First Contest
Summon - The Sandwich Horror!
For our first contest, each of you is tasked with attempting to summon the Sandwich Horror. We know this is a perilous task, but you brave investigators/depraved cultists are well equipped for the task.
Review the summoning from the Kickstarter, collect your spell components, and prepare your summoning circle (some call it, "the kitchen").
Take your best picture or two of the beast before you utterly consume it (or vice versa).
Share a picture of your creation on the Facebook page above along with your backer number which you can find with your pledge confirmation email (this saves us alot of searching to confirm your entry).
The best summoning that truly captures the spirit and essence of the Sandwich Horror, will receive a lifetime membership to the HP Lovecraft Historical Society! This is a $100 value, and you can check out the cool benefits and the cooler society - here:

The winner will be chosen based on our favorite, whatever the voices tell us, and a high number of ‘likes’ will also factor heavily - so get your friends, family, minions, underlings, victims, spawn and whatever else you can muster in on the fun!
The contest will close at Midnight on Halloween, and the winner will be announced shortly thereafter on the FB page.
Get your hooded aprons on, sharpen your sacrificial cutlery - and send us some awesome pics!
Our first Stretch Goal!
All good investigators know to never read the book out loud - and all good cultists can't wait to read the book out loud!!
Yes, we're talking about the audiobook version of the Necronomnomnom.
If we reach $35,000 - All Dreamland Denizens and above pledge levels get a professionally read downloadable version of the book!
Need your tentacles and all your eyes free to cook? Then listen in. Our scary narrator, Ray Greenley, will guide you through! There could even be sound effects and stuff (no promises, yet - the poor guy will be reading this out loud multiple times to practice, and we hope he makes it past the first run through...)
We have the agreements in place, and the magic will happen before the books go to the printers.
So, get your great aunt to throw in for the Dreamland Denizens if she's got one of those new-fangled tablet thingies, or get her a physical copy - and help us add a new strange...dimension...to this thing!

YOU DID IT! The gate has opened...the stars are right! The culinary wisdom shall come down from between the stars! It is as was foretold - The NECRONOMNOMNOM SHALL BE YOURS!!
But what lies between its covers? What delicious secrets can be gleaned from its pages?
Let us reveal to you the Planned Recipes of NOM!
Beverages
Appetizers
Soups
Breakfast
Salads
Sandwiches
Beef-Poultry-Pork
Main dishes: From the Depths
Main dishes: Vegetarian (that is, dishes for vegetarians - not made from them)
Side dishes
Desserts
Breads
Kids Menu
Almost all of these are written and tested. Could something be left out or replaced? Yes, due to page count constraints (possible, but doubtful) or some other logistical concern.
Might a contest or stretch goal either bump something in favor of a recipe we like even better? Maybe. More likely you just get more recipes. Odds are good they'll all be there. And, of course - two of you get to submit recipes of your own!
Let us know you favorites, and share it out if you think someone will be interested now that we a go!
Dear Cultists and Investigators - WE ARE ALMOST THERE!!
You folks are AMAZING! We are SO blown away by the response to this project. Not even 10 days in, and you've almost done it!
Push this thing over the edge of sanity, and share it again. Share, share like the Windwalker!
We can almost taste it.
