The Necronomicon - the Book of the Dead - what horrors lurk
inside, whispering malevolently as the secrets try to creep out...
Master of weird horror H.P. Lovecraft famously mentioned the
mysterious fictional Necronomicon in some of his stories, with no more
than a few cryptic references to it, and he inspired other authors, such
as August Derleth, to incorporate the grimoire into their own works.
Thus this notorious book, featuring arcane text and histories of the
terrible gods that stalk these writers' works, has taken on a life
of its own. In this exciting new book, punchy text describes how fantasy
art, literature and movies have been influenced by this dangerous tome,
accompanied by powerfully atmospheric artworks.
