Summary
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.

This has inspired me as a illustrator, I can't get enough of it! It paints mental images that have dazzled me and move me to draw things like them. The descriptions put me in the story as if it was real. The arts of the arcane that it is filled with have enchanted me in such a way, that it inspires me to make illustrations fort own story, long after I found this book in my local bookstore years and years ago. The narrator is a wonderful choice to play the role of Alhazred. He adds a sort of kind humanity to this tortured, wandering seeker of arcane wisdom who finds himself in all kinds of peril and situations and places that to many can only be experienced in dreams. You who read this book the first time, may find it hard to put down. And those of you who read it a second time, will be amazed at how it is even more amazing than the first. And if you're like me who listens to this 9 hour audio book once every day while I work, will have found and endless adventure and escape that is beyond any price. Except the price of this book of course.
