The concept of the ‘Necronomicon” is well known throughout literature, most claim H.P. Lovecraft and the ‘Mad Arab’ Abdul Alhazred as its author. The mystic of a “book of the dead or a book” of untold magical potential bound in the tanned and stretched skin of a human being can most likely be stemmed back to supposed Necromancers of the Dark Ages. In this instance, our Necronomicon is more like a series lexicon. =)
