Query: Malicious hoax

This book is a malicious hoax. If the magick in it works at all, it will just be to blow up in your face. The "real" Necronomicon was invented by H.P. Lovecraft in imitation of R.W. Chambers' The King In Yellow, a fictional tome that will drive anyone who reads it insane.For a nice Necronomicon that has the grace and manners to be honest about being a fake, try Donald Tyson's attempt. If you actually want to use the Cthulhu Mythos in your magickal pathworkings, try Phil Hine's Pseudonomicon. For more information on how atrocious Simon's fake is, read The Necronomicon Files by Harms & Gonce. For cosmic horror, read Lovecraft himself.
