Gothic Pets
Hello!
This week, while we've been writing, drawing and recipe testing as usual, our resident "Goth dog" Dolly has been patiently posing for this portrait to demonstrate our latest crowdfunding pledge level.
Each Gothic Pet Portrait will be hand-drawn from a photograph of your favourite animal by A Gothic Cookbook artist, Lee Henry, and printed on A3.
This one is limited to just 10 pledges, so please do share with any people or groups who might be interested. And, if you've pledged already, you can choose to upgrade (or, if you can, help to give our project a further boost by pledging again, for yourself or as a gift).
We're more than a third of the way already, so thank you – from the depths of our dark hearts – to everyone who has supported us. Please keep sharing and encouraging others to pledge, too.
Here's to being funded by Halloween!
Allie, Ella & Lee
(and, of course, Dolly)

Cocktail Booklet
A beautifully illustrated booklet of libations inspired by favourite Gothic novels, printed in full colour on high-quality recycled paper, in the style of a bound pamphlet or vintage chapbook.
More than a dozen cocktail recipes include a Mint Espresso Martini, inspired by coffee and creme de menthe in Ira Levin’s Rosemary’s Baby, a Champagne cocktail as quaffed by vampires in Jewelle Gomez’s The Gilda Stories, and a Corpse Reviver 1818 – stiffened with absinthe and named in honour of the year Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein was published.
And, of course, your very own Cup of Stars a la Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House – though ours is a sheer, silky-smooth clarified rum milk punch based on an 18th-century recipe.
