About this ebook
Anyone familiar with H. P. Lovecraft's work knows of the Necronomicon, the black magic grimoire he invented as a literary prop in his classic horror stories. There have been several attempts at creating this text, yet none stand up to Lovecraft's own descriptions of the Necronomicon...until now. Fans of Lovecraftian magic and occult fiction will delight in Donald Tyson's Necronomicon, based purely within Lovecraft's own fictional universe, the Cthulhu Mythos.
This grimoire traces the wanderings of Abdul Alhazred, a necromancer of Yemen, on his search for arcane wisdom and magic. Alhazred's magical adventures lead him to the Arabian desert, the lost city of Irem, ruins of Babylon, lands of the Old Ones, and Damascus, where he encounters a variety of strange creatures and accrues necromantic secrets.

I've only read a little bit of it so far..as I expected its a very dark story so far..all tales about the necronomicon always are..i was hoping that maybe this story might shed some light on some of the concepts in the actual necronomicon..im only about 2 chapters in and theres already been some good ones 'despair is a void in the mine yearning to be filled'😦..thats AWSOME and certainly something that makes you pause and think.

I highly recommend this to any Lovecraft fan. The ending left room for a sequel...please write a sequel.
