Publisher Description
"Cor, look at the tentacles on that!"
Two golden ages collide in this celebration of cosmic horror and classic British comedy.
Before the Karma Sutra there was The Nookienomicon, a book so insidious that it brought more than mere titillation... it brought terror!
Follow the path of madness wrought by this dreadful tome from the Hyborian Age to the present day as it spreads its influence, and its tentacles, throughout history. Join Kolon the Barbarian, Annie Mater, the insufferable Professor Feeley and a host of other bungling characters as they strive to halt the influence of the book and the abominations it summons.
From the gambrel roofed streets of Arkham and the decaying wharves of Innsmouth to Paris, Spain and the dusty halls of hallowed British institutions, one thing can be certain, wherever the Nookienomicon is found, it will bring insanity and hilarity.
Eight side-splitting and sanity-shredding tales of the expanded Cthulhu Mythos by:
Ella Ann, David Green, S.O Green, Chris Hewitt, Tim Mendees, Beth W. Patterson, Callum Pearce & Robert Poyton
Customer Reviews
Carry On Cthulhu!
The Nookienomicon is the lovechild of some rather brilliant authors who married their obsession with Lovecraftian Cosmic Horror and the farcical British Carry On franchise.
Very quickly you are introduced to the likes of Kolon the Barbarian and Lady Chatterly's blowhole. The book is full of innuendo, winking and nudging, comic misunderstandings and the smell of bad fish. You have Elder gods with a lisp, honeymooners who end up in Innsmouth and are really going to want their money back!
The light-hearted banter is a great counterpoint to stories that feature the dread of Gothic horror. You will shake your head while you smirk but there is so much more. Humour is difficult to write but pairing it with really well done story telling and plot is really difficult. These authors do it well. If this combination appeals to you then what else can I say? Carry on!
