Returning to the slime-covered ruins of the city of R'lyeh and the tentacled deity who slumbers there would make anyone hungry. The terrifying trio behind the best-selling Necronomnomnom have summoned forth another gruesome grimoire: a throng of more than 50 nightmarish nibbles.

Organised by taste, including bitter, salty, savoury, sour, and sweet, these ominous noshes will satisfy all your depraved cravings. Enjoy delights like the A-tacolypse, Carni-S'mores, and Hot Cthocolate, alongside Maca-Runes, Necronomicorn, and There Cannoli Be One. Mercilessly tested, these puntastic dishes pay horrifying homage to the Lovecraftian cosmos.

Like The Necronomicon—the legendary, forbidden book of the dead that's "alien to all sane and balanced readers"—this tome contains many delicious, malicious secrets within its pages. The Necromunchicon appeases your appetite while shattering your sanity, coming riddled with mesmerising illustrations and desperate warnings from those who have gone before. It will bring frightful delight for all the days of darkness to come.
