LiteratureHistory of the Necronomicon
History of the Necronomicon is Lovecraft’s fictional bibliography of the forbidden book attributed to Abdul Alhazred. It traces imagined translations, suppressions, printings and surviving copies in the manner of a reference document. The dates inside it belong to the invented book’s history, not to evidence that the Necronomicon existed outside fiction.
