5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a great hoax. 5 stars for that!, 9 Mar 1999
By A Customer
I have been a Lovecraft fan for long and I am absolutely convinced the Necronomicon never existed outside Lovecraft's mind. Still, you can only be 99% sure, and that's what's fun about it. However, this hoax is so well done it ends up being quite an interesting item for anyone interested in Lovecraft or even occultism. David Langford once published an interesting article about his participation in this project (which is actually one of the best things in the book)in the magazine Fortean Times.

The Simon Necronomicon is much cruder than this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific! (Glad it's not true!), 13 Jul 1998
By A Customer
This book is a little gem - almost a textbook example of how to do a plausible and fascinating hoax (And it is, by the way, far superior to the Simon "Necronomicon", which is so popular, and which I'd recommend avoiding at all costs). A must for all Lovecraft fans!

1.0 out of 5 stars Thanks dude, 11 Jan 1998
By A Customer
I would like to personally thank the gentleman who took the time to tell everyone the facts. This book and idea were all made up by Lovecraft. Once you read The History of the Necronomicon, you'll find out that none of it exists. Does anyone remember War of the Worlds? hello?????? Unfortunetly people have twisted this work into something akin to devil worship and cults. Poor misguided fools!!! IT WASN'T A REAL BOOK AND THE MAD ARAB DOESN'T AND NEVER DID EXIST. I do recommend everything Lovecraft wrote though. Masterful, creative and frightening all in the same breath. Spark a flame and prepare to be scared...
