Fictional book of magic, invented by H. P. Lovecraft and frequently featured in his Cthulhu mythos tales.
The Book of Dead Names (listing those outside the Book of Life). Compendium of demonism and time-sorcery, condensed counterchronically, and in fragments. [See Pandemonium Matrix].
'The Necronomicon of Alhazred' translates literally to 'Book of Dead Names' and was written in 730 AD by Abdul Alhazred in Damascus. It has seven volumes and over nine hundred pages in the Latin addition.
A grimoire (that is, collection) of ancient sigils and incantations of nebulous origins, discovered in the 8th century by the "Mad Arab," Abdul Alhazred, said to be capable of opening a chasm to the "Dread Dimension" and unleashing the wrathful power of the timeless "Elder Gods." Although some occultists believe this tome to be at least derived from genuine (and nefarious) sources, we are fairly confident that it sprang from the fiction of Providence, Rhode Island-born horror author, Howard Phillips (H.P.) Lovecraft (b. 1890, d. 1937).
The Necronomicon is a fictional book from the stories of horror writer H.P. Lovecraft. It was first mentioned in Lovecraft's 1924 short story "The Hound", written in 1922, though its purported author, the "Mad Arab" Abdul Alhazred, had been quoted a year earlier in Lovecraft's "The Nameless City".
Necronomicon is an American anthology horror film released in 1994. It was directed by Brian Yuzna, Christophe Gans and Shusuke Kaneko and was written by Brent V. Friedman, Christophe Gans, Kazunori Itô and Brian Yuzna.
