Necronomicon

The horror writer H. P. Lovecraft created a mythology that includes bizarre monsters, troubled communities, insane scholars and a library of books filled with forbidden lore. The Necronomicon, also referred to as the Book of the Dead, or under a purported original Arabic title of Kitab al-Azif, is a fictional grimoire (textbook of magic) appearing in stories by H. P. Lovecraft and his followers. The „Necronomicon“ plays an important role in the Cthulhu mythos-the mythology behind much of Lovecraft's work involving extraterrestrial beings of immense power.
