You are cordially invited to enter the wrought-iron gates of the Nevermore Academy to discover its darkest culinary delights. These sixty remarkable recipes from our illustrious and historic community offer something for everyone, whether you crave meat like a werewolf or grapple with special culinary requirements (like an allergy to food with any color in it). Vegetarian and pescatarian offerings abound, as well as substitutes for dishes that use gluten, dairy, or ritualistic murder--with torturously tasty photographs for all the recipes.
We dare you to try:
- Wednesday's Woeful Waffles (which are pitch black, of course)
- Enid's rainbow-sprinkled . . . well, everything
- Morticia's Magnetic Migas

- Edgar Allen Poe'tatoes
- Uncle Fester's Famous Brain Roast
This tome also shares expert tips on how to entertain Nevermore Academy-style, so you can throw your own Rave'N Ball, Freaksgiving Feast, or Secret Society Social.
Join us at the Nevermore Academy table and prepare to eat like an Outcast.
Author Biography
Mari Mancusi regrets having never applied to Nevermore Academy, as she's certain she'd have fit right in. An Emmy-winning former television producer and author of more than thirty books--including The Nightmare Before Christmas Twisted Tale from Disney Press--she has always been a huge Tim Burton fan and has streamed Wednesday more times than Thing has fingers. When not writing, she enjoys going to Disney World, playing video games, and watching scary (and cheesy!) horror movies.
Jarrett Melendez is an award-winning comic book writer, cookbook author, and food journalist. His work has appeared in

Chef's Kiss from Oni Press, which won the Alex Award from the American Library Association and was nominated for both a GLAAD award for Outstanding Graphic Novel and an Eisner Award for Best Publication for Teens.
