I only read an excerpt of this fun cookbook, but I would read the whole thing. Elvira's signature personality and sense of humor are present throughout the book and the pictures are great. The section I got to read was her intro and the brunch menu, plus a fun craft (a napkin ring).
I like that the food recipes are easily explained and they can be customized for vegetarians/vegans and the drink recipes can be made non-alcoholic. I would recommend it to any Elvira fan and people who like spooky cookbooks.
I received a free excerpt of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my review. All opinions are my own.

Absolutely loved Elvira’s Cookbook from Hell! The whole cookbook is dark, spooky, and full of campy horror glam. As a big fan of the movie, it was a such a treasure to get to read it early! I ventured into making the “Mourning” Buns and they were to die for. The name made me laugh and the recipe turned out rich, gooey, and seriously tasty. Every recipe has that cheeky Elvira charm which made this such a fun read! Thank you very much Grand Central Publishing for the ARC!

If you’re an Elvira fan and like to collect anything related to her, then this will be a good book for you! Inside, you will find a variety of spoopy recipes and crafts. While the ARC I received is a 29-page excerpt, I fully plan on buying the book.. From the 29-pages I did receive, it looks like a fun book full of tasty recipes and dining crafts with a spoopy spin on them. While there isn’t anything necessarily new, it’s perfect for the Halloween vibes whether or not you are an Elvira fan.

I love Elvira, and this book just is perfection.

The recipes are spread over multiple courses! The sausage guts is one I’m actually excited to make.

The flow of the book, the photos and the little quips with each recipe really just seeps Elvira!

Great gift for a foodie and a Halloween/Elvira fan!

The queen of darkness is sharing her recipes for her deliciously dark treats and proving that Halloween isn't just once a year. Perfect nostalgic vibes for any fan.

First of all, I LOVE ELVIRA. Even though I'm a total chicken baby when it comes to anything even slightly scary, I've loved Elvira since childhood. Her cookbook is as fabulously creepy as you'd hope, with plenty of silly puns, and sassy jokes.

"And let's face it darling- a brunch without alcohol is just a sad, late breakfast."

Themed dishes complete with styled and detailed photos, perfection. Her bone-chilling berry bundt is so fancy and beautifully designed, I think I'll need to make one for my family soon! The addition of cute crafts (Punk/BDSM inspired napkin rings, so sophisticated and fun!) and gorgeous photos of the gorgeous goddess herself are an absolute treat.

Thank you, Cassandra Peterson, Grand Central Publishing, and NetGalley for this advanced reader copy, I can't wait to buy a copy!

Although it was a partial selection of Elvira's Cookbook from Hell ; it gives you the feel, presentation, sarcasm, and sophistication as only the Mistress of the Dark can concoct.
Adding some craft ideas makes this also a great, fun resource for Halloween. I look forward to seeing the finished book, and the Vegetarian and Vegans recipes.
Thank you for letting me preview this advanced book material.

Since this is only an small excerpt, I do not want to speak for the entire cookbook. The first section's (brunch) recipes looked delicious and easily doable. There were no insane ingredients and the pictures of the recipes look amazing.

My only critique is that sometimes the text is hard to read (Tips N' Tricks page and the chapter overview page) due to the colors or patterned backgrounds. I am not sure how this will translate over to a physical copy of the book, but I imagine it's probably only an ebook copy problem.

I will definitely be making a berry bundt cake this weekend. 😋

My love for Elvira just got sooo elevated! This book is crazy attractive and just what you'd expect from an Elvira cookbook. Even more so, the recipes look and sound fantastic. It's clever, fun, and don't miss out on reading the extra things throughout the book. This is about entertaining and making food so enjoyable and I'm here for it.

I received this as an ARC and only got snippets of the brilliance and fun of the cookbook, but it enticed me enough to want to check out the entire thing. This is one hell of a trip that's going to be so much fun and with so much yummy goodness.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a glance at this. All opinions are my own.

This cookbook seemes to have great recipes and information on how to throw a spooky party.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for a review copy.

OMG OMG OMG To say that I am lowkey fan girl freaking out that THE Elvira has written a themed cookbook is an understatement. As a fan of Cassandra Peterson, everything spooky and kitch, this cookbook is a MUST for my shelf.

The cookbook is fun, casual, fully on theme, and gets me excited to plan a spooky event complete with hauntingly delicious snacks. What this cookbook offers are those cute and ghoulish recipes you find on Pinterest or the holiday magazines that hit shelves around September. You are not going to find any mind-blowing new recipe, but instead a book full of fun recipes and great photography.

Absolutely a must-have for an Elvira, Cassandra, or fan of spooky. Great themed cookbook!

I love this! This is the best little kitschy cookbook for anyone who loves horror. As only Elvira could present, the recipes in this excerpt are all themed the only way The Mistress of the Dark could do- gothic, terrifying, and a little sexy.

The interior art is gorgeous, with deep colors, gothic backgrounds, and the Mistress herself.

The recipes are only written in volume measurements, which makes baking feel less precise than cookbooks with weight measurements.

Overall, it's a great cookbook that anyone who loves horror, especially pulp horror, would love!

Elvira’s cookbook from hell is a great, simple, interesting cook book for those with a deep love for Halloween and Elvira! I loved going through this, the sausage intestines definitely caught my eye!!

As a longtime lover of themed cookbooks (with a shelf of ten and counting), Elvira's Cookbook from Hell will be a ghoulishly delightful addition. I only received a short preview for review, but it was enough to know this book is killer. The recipe names are punny, and perfectly on-brand for the Queen of Camp herself. If you're an Elvira fan who also loves a good cookbook, this is a must-have.

Thank you to NetGalley and Grand Central Publishing for this sneak peek.

I enjoyed this cookbook. Elvira is very creative and absolutely spooky fun! I have noted recipes to use later on and I really hope she makes more. I love spooky season and it is in my life 24/7!

Alright so first of all I feel this book was made for me and I will personally be purchasing it. I love spooky and I love Elvira. That said, I can't really do it justice in a review given the brevity of the exam copy. I only had access to the brunch section, which is not my forte, though I'm making the screamsicle smoothie and dark and sticky mourning buns this weekend as a mother's day gift from me to my kids. The book itself is organized with recipes for a variety of spooky celebrations, which is super fun. I love these menu-ed books (that and the weed section are my favorite components of benny blanco's book, lol). I really want to see the creepy cocktail party recipes! They are fun recipes, and it also includes some party decor crafts (from what I can tell, again, I can only see the one example). The tone throughout all the recipe notes is fun, too. Thank you to Grand Central Publishing and Netgally for the advanced review partial copy for review. All opinions are my own.

Since this is only an excerpt, I can’t accurately say how good the entire book is. I can’t say that the first few recipes seem to be both doable and tasty. I’ll come back and do a full review once I see the whole book.

This book is going to be extremely cute when it's an actual book, with color, in book form. Reading it on the Kindle was less than magical.

As far as recipes go, many of them were more on the simple side but I don't find that a problem. They are relatively easy to put together and are cute on the finished side. Very on brand with Elvira and great not just for Halloween but for, as the title says, any occasion. I plan to purchase this book when it's published so I can add it to my self. Partly because I have a collection of cookbooks from celebrities I enjoy but partly because there are several recipes I plan to make. All in all it's a cute set of recipes presented in a cute and spooky way.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for the opportunity to read an ARC copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you so much to NetGalley for providing me with a 16-page preview of this book. Even as a more casual fan of Elvira/Cassandra Peterson, I had a great time reading the pages I got. I went ahead and pre-ordered it, and I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of it and making some of the recipes!

Thank you so much to Grand Central Publishing for the eARC of Elvira’s Cookbook from Hell!

I only got an excerpt from Elvira’s Cookbook from
Hell, but I instantly went and preordered it. I’m just sad that I have to wait until October for it to come out 😅

Elvira’s personality shines throughout — with silly comments & macabre recipes. Perfect for Elvira fans or those that just want to host a Gothic get together. Elvira also includes tips and tricks to the serving of the food, like a DIY on Spiky Napkin Rings.

The excerpt I got was her Brunch menu & all of the food sounded SO GOOD. The recipes also seem very straightforward and I’m very much looking forward to making some of the food like the Swamp Monsyer Frittata and Dark & Sticky Mourning Buns!
