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

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)

- Morticia's Magnetic Migas

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.
About the Author
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.
