Sheather Posted January 18, 2011 The necronomicon was originally an invention of H.P. Lovecraft. He used the fictional book in some of his horror stories, and many writers since have used it too, they must have thought it's a pretty good plot device. I would probably say that there is no real book that fits the descriptions given by Lovecraft. I would (very reasonably) be afraid if such a thing was in human hands.

Sheather Posted January 18, 2011 Is it human leather? I just don't think it would have the right texture if it wasn't human leather... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dworx Posted January 18, 2011 You mean leather made from human skin? or human made leather? No, yes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sheather Posted January 18, 2011 The first one. What's a necronomicon if it's not made from human skin? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moses Posted January 18, 2011 I would (very reasonably) be afraid if such a thing was in human hands. and if it was you just know it would be in the vatican library where only gods chosen could safely protect us from it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dworx Posted January 19, 2011 The Necronomicon is said to be protection for mankind, at least that's how I read it. Download it and give me your opinions? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hutch Posted January 21, 2011 The Necronomicon is said to be protection for mankind, at least that's how I read it. Download it and give me your opinions? Is there a link thats dropped off..I cant find it but I did a bit of a read and found this interesting... How Lovecraft conceived the name "Necronomicon" is not clear — Lovecraft said that the title came to him in a dream. I just love it when I here things come to people in dreams...There is a lot in that IMO... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderIdeal Posted January 21, 2011 used to be quite into lovecraft and did a bit of research. i thought it was real. just some old occult text. nothing that i find terribly exciting. there are various publications considered to have varying levels of authenticity, some have commentaries of varying worth.

dworx Posted January 21, 2011 Here is a link to the scan of the paperback edition http://alleeshadowtradition.com/pdf/necronomicon2.pdf - thought you would get it with google? lol Its a bit big to post here so I split it for those interested. I don't know if I beleive it is an actual manuscript, but I showed my school librarian the black leather book, and he chased me out of the library - he wanted so bad to have it in his hands..lol necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part1.pdf necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part2.pdf necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part1.pdf necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part2.pdf necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part1.pdf necronomiconpaperbackscan_Part2.pdf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
santiago Posted January 21, 2011 from what has been read from ot so far it seems a clever type of deception text which doesnt really explain anything, it promises to explain the truth but just banters around incomplete phrase which teases the reader into more and more reading like a horse chasing a carrot, when it refuses to give the answer and lead onto more and more without actually revealing the secret is why it sends people mad, people are just so desperate to get to the truth the carefully manipulated text just ebbs and flows and teases. interestingly enough the original idea may have stemmed from yemen and the creativity of this i may beg to differ may have been written whilst under the influence of khat.

dworx Posted January 21, 2011 From the oldest recorded creation stories in Sumeria / Mesopotamia. It isn't meant to explain anything, It tells the story of the arab whocame upon the secret world and wrote it down for mankind. It gives you the incantations, the rituals and the warnings. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nabraxas Posted January 29, 2011 has anyone read 'the necromancer' by Michael Scott no, but Neuromancer by William Gibson was pretty good. Anything by Iain M Banks is worth reading especially Consider Phlebas Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
