About this title: First mentioned by H.P Lovecraft in the 1920s and referred to throughout his fiction, the Necronomicon - a spurious book of occult knowledge - is so infamous that horror cognoscenti playfully speculate it might exist.

"Some parts were really interesting, others read too much like source material for a role playing game. In the end I kept my sanity, and that is not a good thing. It's really good for what it is, but the man isn't Lovecraft and anybody expecting Lovecraft is going to be let down."
"The life and education of the infamous necromancer Alhazred, author of the Necronomicon. A brilliant stroke, to turn the grimoire into a series of brief, entertaining episodes."
"Interesting albeit historically inaccurate version of the "book with no name." Not for the faint of heart (nor the well-read occult critic) but worth a glance from fans of Lovecraft, Crawley and other early '20s cult-horror fans."
