    The Ultimate Halloween Cookbook Collection

    October 18, 2020 By Sara McCleary Updated August 31, 2021 - This post may contain affiliate links

    The best Halloween cookbooks to keep your stomach horrifyingly satisfied this holiday season. From cute Disney Halloween through to a Zombie apocalypse. Fancy cakes, treats to avoid tricks, and dinner parties are all sorted.

    I have rounded up 59 of the best Halloween recipe books I could find. I do have a couple of personal favourites. Christine McConnell's Deceptive Desserts is one. Have you ever watched her Netflix show Curious Creations, she has great ideas and is very talented.

    One book not released yet, but I have just pre-ordered a copy on Amazon, is the Official Alien Cookbook. I'm probably a little too excited about getting my hands on this one!

    Hope you love our carefully curated list. Of course don't forget to check out my Halloween recipes as well!

    Halloween Dessert Cookbooks

    Candy isn't the only sweet thing about Halloween, there are the sinfully delicious desserts and cakes too. From creepily cute to creatively horrific!

    If you have only one Halloween dessert cookbook in your library it should be Christine McConnell's Deceptive Desserts. The Mistress of the Macabre takes her inspiration from the likes of Tim Burton, Wes Craven, Alfred Hitchcock, and Vincent Price, mixing in a dash of Stepford Wife.

    Zombies

    Zombie must eat brains........ From cute treats to surviving a zombie apocalypse. If anything 2020 has taught us, "The Art of Eating Through a Zombie Apocalypse" may actually be an essential survival guide. I wonder if it covers toilet paper too?

    The Walking Dead

    I know that the Walking Dead falls both under movies/tv and zombies. But it really deserves a section all to itself. How cute is the "Walking Bread" cookbook!?
